The scope of this contribution is to present an overview of the theory of structured deformations of continua, together with some applications. Structured deformations aim at being a unified theory in which elastic and plastic behaviours, as well as fractures and defects can be described in a single setting. Since its introduction in the scientific community of rational mechanicists [10], the theory has been put in the framework of variational calculus [8], thus allowing for solution of problems via energy minimization. Some background, three problems and a discussion on future directions are presented.

Abstract

The scope of this contribution is to present an overview of the theory of structured deformations of continua, together with some applications. Structured deformations aim at being a unified theory in which elastic and plastic behaviours, as well as fractures and defects can be described in a single setting. Since its introduction in the scientific community of rational mechanicists [10], the theory has been put in the framework of variational calculus [8], thus allowing for solution of problems via energy minimization. Some background, three problems and a discussion on future directions are presented.
