Symmetric div-quasiconvexity and the relaxation of static problems

Sergio Conti, Stefan Müller, Michael Ortiz

DOI：: 10.1007/s00205-019-01433-1

英文摘要：

We consider problems of static equilibrium in which the primary unknown is the stress field and the solutions maximize a complementary energy subject to equilibrium constraints. A necessary and sufficient condition for the sequential lower-semicontinuity of such functionals is symmetric ${\rm div}$-quasiconvexity, a special case of Fonseca and Müller's $A$-quasiconvexity with $A = {\rm div}$ acting on $R^{n\times n}_{sym}$. We specifically consider the example of the static problem of plastic limit analysis and seek to characterize its relaxation in the non-standard case of a non-convex elastic domain. We show that the symmetric ${\rm div}$-quasiconvex envelope of the elastic domain can be characterized explicitly for isotropic materials whose elastic domain depends on pressure $p$ and Mises effective shear stress $q$. The envelope then follows from a rank-$2$ hull construction in the $(p,q)$-plane. Remarkably, owing to the equilibrium constraint the relaxed elastic domain can still be strongly non-convex, which shows that convexity of the elastic domain is not a requirement for existence in plasticity.

Quasiconvexity in the fractional calculus of variations: Characterization of lower semicontinuity and relaxation

Based on recent developments in the theory of fractional Sobolev spaces, an interesting new class of nonlocal variational problems has emerged in the literature. These problems, which are the focus of this work, involve integral functionals that depend on Riesz fractional gradients instead of ordinary gradients and are considered subject to a complementary-value condition. With the goal of establishing a comprehensive existence theory, we provide a full characterization for the weak lower semicontinuity of these functionals under suitable growth assumptions on the integrands. In doing so, we s…

Closed $\mathcal{A}$-$p$ Quasiconvexity and Variational Problems with Extended Real-Valued Integrands

This paper relates the lower semi-continuity of an integral functional in the compensated compactness setting of vector fields satisfying a constant-rank first-order differential constraint, to closed $\mathcal{A}$-$p$ quasiconvexity of the integrand. The lower semi-continuous envelope of relaxation is identified for continuous, but potentially extended real-valued integrands. We discuss the continuity assumption and show that when it is dropped our notion of quasiconvexity is still equivalent to lower semi-continuity of the integrand under an additional assumption on the characteristic cone o…

Towards a Theory of Multi-Parameter Geometrical Variational Problems: Fibre Bundles, Differential Forms and Riemannian Quasiconvexity

We are concerned with the relaxation and existence theories of a general class of geometrical minimisation problems, with action integrals defined via differential forms over fibre bundles. We find natural algebraic and analytic conditions which give rise to a relaxation theory. Moreover, we propose the notion of ``Riemannian quasiconvexity'' for cost functions whose variables are differential forms on Riemannian manifolds, which extends the classical quasiconvexity condition in the Euclidean settings. The existence of minimisers under the Riemannian quasiconvexity condition has been establish…

Relaxation of nonlinear elastic energies involving deformed configuration and applications to nematic elastomers

We start from a variational model for nematic elastomers that involves two energies: mechanical and nematic. The first one consists of a nonlinear elastic energy which is influenced by the orientation of the molecules of the nematic elastomer. The nematic energy is an Oseen--Frank energy in the deformed configuration. The constraint of the positivity of the determinant of the deformation gradient is imposed. The functionals are not assumed to have the usual polyconvexity or quasiconvexity assumptions to be lower semicontinuous. We instead compute its relaxation, that is, the lower semicontinuo…

Extending linear growth functionals to functions of bounded fractional variation

In this paper we consider the minimization of a novel class of fractional linear growth functionals involving the Riesz fractional gradient. These functionals lack the coercivity properties in the fractional Sobolev spaces needed to apply the direct method. We therefore utilize the recently introduced spaces of bounded fractional variation and study the extension of the linear growth functional to these spaces through relaxation with respect to the weak* convergence. Our main result establishes an explicit representation for this relaxation, which includes an integral term accounting for the s…

On symmetric div-quasiconvex hulls and divsym-free $\mathrm{L}^\infty$-truncations

We establish that for any non-empty, compact set $K\subset\mathbb{R}_{\mathrm{sym}}^{3\times 3}$ the $1$- and $\infty$-symmetric div-quasiconvex hulls $K^{(1)}$ and $K^{(\infty)}$ coincide. This settles a conjecture in a recent work of Conti, Müller and Ortiz (Symmetric Div-Quasiconvexity and the Relaxation of Static Problems. Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 235(2):841-880) in the affirmative. As a key novelty, we construct an $\mathrm{L}^{\infty}$-truncation that preserves both symmetry and solenoidality of matrix-valued maps in $\mathrm{L}^{1}$.

Characterizations of symmetric polyconvexity

Symmetric quasiconvexity plays a key role for energy minimization in geometrically linear elasticity theory. Due to the complexity of this notion, a common approach is to retreat to necessary and sufficient conditions that are easier to handle. This article focuses on symmetric polyconvexity, which is a sufficient condition. We prove a new characterization of symmetric polyconvex functions in the two- and three-dimensional setting, and use it to investigate relevant subclasses like symmetric polyaffine functions and symmetric polyconvex quadratic forms. In particular, we provide an example of …

Mathematical validation of a continuum model for relaxation of interacting steps in crystal surfaces in $2$ space dimensions

In this paper we study the boundary value problem for the equation $\mbox{div}\left(D(\nabla u)\nabla\left(\mbox{div}\left(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u+β\frac{\nabla u}{|\nabla u|}\right)\right)\right)+au=f$ in the $z=(x,y)$ plane. This problem is derived from a continuum model for the relaxation of a crystal surface below the roughing temperature. The mathematical challenge is of two folds. First, the mobility $D(\nabla u)$ is a $2\times 2$ matrix whose smallest eigenvalue is not bounded away from $0$ below. Second, the equation contains the $1$-Laplace operator, whose mathematical properties are…

On the theory of relaxation in nonlinear elasticity with constraints on the determinant

We consider vectorial variational problems in nonlinear elasticity of the form $I[u]=\int W(Du)dx$, where $W$ is continuous on matrices with positive determinant and diverges to infinity long sequences of matrices whose determinant is positive and tends to zero. We show that, under suitable growth assumptions, the functional $\int W^{qc}(Du)dx$ is an upper bound on the relaxation of $I$, and coincides with the relaxation if the quasiconvex envelope $W^{qc}$ of $W$ is polyconvex and has $p$-growth from below with $p\ge n$. This includes several physically relevant examples. We also show how a c…

Generalized compressible flows and solutions of the H(div) geodesic problem

We study the geodesic problem on the group of diffeomorphism of a domain M$\subset$Rd, equipped with the H(div) metric. The geodesic equations coincide with the Camassa-Holm equation when d=1, and represent one of its possible multi-dimensional generalizations when d>1. We propose a relaxation {à} la Brenier of this problem, in which solutions are represented as probability measures on the space of continuous paths on the cone over M. We use this relaxation to prove that smooth H(div) geodesics are globally length minimizing for short times. We also prove that there exists a unique pressure fi…
