Examples of nonlinear homogenization involving degenerate energies. I. Plane strain

Abstract

The study of polycrystals of shape-memory alloys and rigid-perfectly plastic materials gives rise to problems of nonlinear homogenization involving degenerate energies. This paper presents a characterization of the stress and strain fields in a class of problems in plane strain, and uses it to study examples including checkerboards and hexagonal microstructures. Consequences for shape-memory alloys and rigid-perfectly plastic materials are discussed.
