Abstract
For 1<p<∞ we prove an Lp-version of the generalized trace-free Korn inequality for incompatible tensor fields P in W01,p(Curl;Ω,R3×3). More precisely, let Ω⊂R3 be a bounded Lipschitz domain. Then there exists a constant c>0 such that ∥P∥Lp(Ω,R3×3)≤c(∥devsymP∥Lp(Ω,R3×3)+∥devCurlP∥Lp(Ω,R3×3)) holds for all tensor fields P∈W01,p(Curl;Ω,R3×3), i.e., for all P∈W1,p(Curl;Ω,R3×3) with vanishing tangential trace P×ν=0 on ∂Ω where ν denotes the outward unit normal vector field to ∂Ω and devP:=P−31tr(P)13 denotes the deviatoric (trace-free) part of P. We also show the norm equivalence ∥P∥Lp(Ω,R3×3)+∥CurlP∥Lp(Ω,R3×3)≤c(∥devsymP∥Lp(Ω,R3×3)+∥devCurlP∥Lp(Ω,R3×3)) for tensor fields P∈W01,p(Curl;Ω,R3×3). These estimates also hold true for tensor fields with vanishing tangential trace only on a relatively open (non-empty) subset Γ⊆∂Ω of the boundary.
