Starting from 3D elasticity equations we derive the model of the homogenized von K\'arm\'an plate by means of $\Gamma$-convergence. This generalizes the recent results, where the material oscillations were assumed to be periodic.
We prove a compactness result with respect to $\Gamma$-convergence for a class of integral functionals which are expressed as a sum of a local and a non-local term. The main feature is that, under our hypotheses, the local part of the…
In this note we treat the equations of fractional elasticity. After establishing well-posedness, we show a compactness result related to the theory of homogenization. For this, a previous result in (abstract) homogenization theory of…
The results on $\Gamma$-limits of sequences of free-discontinuity functionals with bounded cohesive surface terms are extended to the case of vector-valued functions. In this framework, we prove an integral representation result for the…
