Abstract
Hierarchical (first-order) structured deformations are studied from the variational point of view. The main contributions of the present research are the first steps, at the theoretical level, to establish a variational framework to minimize mechanically relevant energies defined on hierarchical structured deformations. Two results are obtained here: (i) an approximation theorem and (ii) the assignment of an energy to a hierarchical structured deformation by means of an iterative procedure. This has the effect of validating the proposal made in Deseri and Owen (J. Elast. 135:149–182, 2019) to study deformations admitting slips and separations at multiple submacroscopic levels. An explicit example is provided to illustrate the behavior of the proposed iterative procedure and relevant directions for future research are highlighted.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
