We introduce the space GBD of generalized functions of bounded deformation and study the structure properties of these functions: the rectifiability and the slicing properties of their jump sets, and the existence of their approximate symmetric gradients. We conclude by proving a compactness results for GBD, which leads to a compactness result for the space GSBD of generalized special functions of bounded deformation. The latter is connected to the existence of solutions to a weak formulation of some variational problems arising in fracture mechanics in the framework of linearized elasticity.

Quasistatic Limit of a Dynamic Viscoelastic Model with Memory

Gianni Dal Maso, Francesco Sapio

Summary: The study focuses on the behavior of solutions to a viscoelastic model with long memory as the rate of change of data approaches zero, and it is proven that a rescaled version of the solutions converges to the solution of the corresponding stationary problem.

On the pure jump nature of crack growth for a class of pressure-sensitive elasto-plastic materials

Gianni Dal Maso, Rodica Toader

Summary: The properties of crack length in pressure-sensitive elasto-plastic materials in the planar case are studied, and it is proven that under suitable technical assumptions, the length is a pure jump function on the crack path.

A global method for deterministic and stochastic homogenisation in BV

Filippo Cagnetti, Gianni Dal Maso, Lucia Scardia, Caterina Ida Zeppieri

Summary: In this paper, we investigate the deterministic and stochastic homogenisation of free-discontinuity functionals under linear growth and coercivity conditions. A novel aspect of our deterministic result is that it is based on very general assumptions on the integrands, which do not need to be periodic in the space variable. Combining this result with the pointwise Subadditive Ergodic Theorem, we establish a stochastic homogenisation result for stationary random integrands, characterising the limit integrands in terms of asymptotic cell formulas, similar to the classical periodic homogenisation case.

A new space of generalised functions with bounded variation motivated by fracture mechanics

Gianni Dal Maso, Rodica Toader

Summary: We introduce a new space of generalised functions with bounded variation to prove the existence of a solution to a minimum problem that arises in the variational approach to fracture mechanics in elastoplastic materials. We study the fine properties of the functions belonging to this space and prove a compactness result. In order to use the Direct Method of the Calculus of Variations we prove a lower semicontinuity result for the functional occurring in this minimum problem. Moreover, we adapt a nontrivial argument introduced by Friedrich to show that every minimizing sequence can be modified to obtain a new minimizing sequence that satisfies the hypotheses of our compactness result.
