Review text

The purpose of the paper is to describe the asymptotic behaviour of general 2D elastic problems written as \(\text{div}(A^{\varepsilon }e(u^{\varepsilon }))=f\), posed in a smooth domain \(\Omega \) and with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions on \(\partial \Omega \). The fourth-order tensor \( A^{\varepsilon }\) satisfies the stiff conditions \(A^{\varepsilon }(x)\xi :\xi \geq \alpha \| \xi \| ^{2}\) ; \((A^{\varepsilon }(x))^{-1}\xi :\xi \geq (\beta _{\varepsilon }(x))^{-1}\| \xi \| ^{2}\), for every \(\xi \in \mathbb{R}_{S}^{2\times 2}\) and with \( \alpha >0\). The authors distinguish between the non periodic and the periodic cases. In the non periodic case, the main convergence result asserts that if \((\beta _{\varepsilon })_{\varepsilon }\) weakly converges to some \(\beta \in L^{\infty }(\Omega )\) in the sense of measures, then \( (u_{\varepsilon })_{\varepsilon }\) converges to \(u\) in the weak sense of \(H_{0}^{1}(\Omega ; \mathbb{R}^{2})\) and \((A^{\varepsilon }e(u_{\varepsilon }))_{\varepsilon }\) converges to \( A^{\ast }e(u)\) in the weak sense of \(\mathcal{M}(\Omega ;\mathbb{R} _{S}^{2\times 2})\) for some fourth-order tensor which satisfies the above conditions with \(\beta \) instead of \(\beta _{\varepsilon }\). In the periodic case, that is assuming that \(A^{\varepsilon }\) and \(\beta _{\varepsilon }\) are respectively associated to some tensor \(A_{\natural }^{\varepsilon }\) or \(\beta _{\varepsilon }^{\natural }\) defined in the unit cell \(Y\), the authors prove a similar result as above, now assuming that \( \lim_{\varepsilon \to 0}\varepsilon ^{2}\int_{Y}\beta _{\varepsilon }^{\natural }(y)\,dy=0\). For the proof of the convergence result in the non periodic case, the authors use some div-curl results presented in [\textit{M. Briane} and \textit{J. Casado-Díaz}, Commun. Partial Differ. Equations 32, No. 6, 935--969 (2007; Zbl 1127.35070)]. The convergence result in the periodic case is proved introducing the solution of some cell problem. The paper ends with some counterexample, the authors proving some convergence result for a 2D composite material for which the \(\Gamma \)-limit of the energies involves some second-order partial derivative of the displacement field. This result is inspired from that of \textit{C. Pideri} and \textit{P. Seppecher} in the 3D case [Contin. Mech. Thermodyn. 9, No. 5, 241--257 (1997; Zbl 0893.73006)].
