Abstract: This paper deals with the homogenization through $Gamma$-convergence of weakly coercive integral energies with the oscillating density $mathbbL(x/epsilon)ablav:ablav$ in three-dimensional elasticity. The energies are weakly coercive in the sense where the classical functional coercivity satisfied by the periodic tensor L (using smooth test functions v with compact support in $mathbb{R}^3$) which reads as $Lambda(mathbbL)>0$, is replaced by the relaxed condition $Lambda(mathbbL)ge0$. Surprisingly, we prove that contrary to the two-dimensional case of [2] which seems a priori more constrained, the homogenized tensor $mathbb{L}^0$ remains strongly elliptic, or equivalently $Lambda(mathbb{L}^0)>0$, for any tensor $mathbbL=mathbbL(y_1)$ satisfying $mathbbL(y)M:M+D:mCof(M)ge0$, a.e. $yinmathbb{R}^3$, $forallMinmathbb{R}^{3imes3}$, for some matrix $Dinmathbb{R}^{3imes3}$ (which implies $Lambda(mathbbL)ge0$), and the periodic functional coercivity (using smooth test functions $v$ with periodic gradients) which reads as $Lambd{a}_{mper}(mathbbL)>0$. Moreover, we derive the loss of strong ellipticity for the homogenized tensor using a rank-two lamination, which justifies by $Gamma$-convergence the formal procedure of [8].
