The main result of the paper concerns an explicit formula for the quasiconvex enveloppe of conformally invariant elastic energies \(W\) in the two-dimensional setting. If \(\operatorname{GL}^+(2)\) denotes the group of \(2\times 2\) matrices with positive determinant, a function \(W:\operatorname{GL}^+(2)\rightarrow \mathbb R\) is called conformally invariant iff \(W(AFB)=W(F)\) for all \(A,B\in\{aR\in \operatorname{GL}^+(2)\vert a\in\mathbb{R}_+^\star\), \(R\in \operatorname{SO}(2)\}\) where \(\operatorname{SO}(2)\) denotes the special orthogonal group. Conformally invariance requirement is equivalent to isotropy (i.e., \(W(FR)=W(F)\) for all \(F\in \operatorname{GL}^+(2)\) and \(R\in \operatorname{SO}(2)\)) and material objectivity (i.e., \(W(QF)=W(F)\) for all \(F\in \operatorname{GL}^+(2)\) and \(Q\in \operatorname{SO}(2)\)) augmented by the requirement of invariance to isochoric deformations (i.e., \(W(aF)=W(F)\) for all \(F\in \operatorname{GL}^+(2)\) and \(a\in\mathbb{R}_+^\star\)). The objectivity and isotropy provide the representation of the energy in terms of the singular values of \(F\), i.e., \(W(F)=g(\lambda_1,\lambda_2)\) for some function \(g:(0,\infty)\times(0,\infty)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\); the additional invariance with respect to isochoric deformations provides the representation \(W(F)=h(\lambda_1/\lambda_2)\) for some function \(h:(0,\infty)\rightarrow\mathbb{R}.\) The paper also discusses more general properties related to the \(W^{1,p}\)-quasiconvex envelope on \(\operatorname{GL}^+(n)\) which ensure that a version of Dacorogna formula can be applied to conformally invariant elastic energies in the two-dimensional setting.
