Short description:
Currents and curvature varifolds in continuum mechanics / Giaquinta, M.; Mariano, P. M.; Modica, G.; Mucci, Domenico. - 229:(2010), pp. 97-117.
abstract:
The use in continuum mechanics of weak diffeomorphisms, Cartesian
currents and curvature k-varifolds with boundary is discussed. The attention
is focused on the analysis of the existence of minimizers for the energies
of elastic complex bodies and bodies admitting cracks. The interplay between
the analytical features and the physical needs is stressed.
