Abstract: This paper is concerned with the stress concentration phenomenon in elastic composite materials when the inclusions are very closely spaced. We investigate the gradient blow-up estimates for the Lam'{e} system of linear elasticity with partially infinite coefficients to show the dependence of the degree of stress enhancement on the distance between inclusions in a composite containing densely placed stiff inclusions. In this paper we assume that the inclusions to be of $C^{1,gamma}$, weaker than the previous $C^{2,gamma}$ assumption. To overcome this new difficulty, we make use of $W^{1,p}$ estimates for elliptic system with right hand side in divergence form, instead of a direct $W^{2,p}$ argument for $C^{2,gamma}$ inclusion case, and combine with the Campanato's approach to establish the optimal gradient estimates, including upper and lower bounds. Moreover, an asymptotic formula of the gradient near the blow-up point is obtained for some symmetric $C^{1,gamma}$ inclusions.

Review text

The authors study elastic composite materials which contain two adjacent stiff inclusions. The emphasis is on the corresponding stress concentration phenomenon and on the relationship between the degree of stress enhancement and the distance between the inclusions. Gradient blow-up estimates are derived for the Lame system of linear elasticity with partially degenerated coefficients. The inclusions are assumed to be of \(C^{1,\gamma}\). The strategy is to employ \(W^{1,p}\) estimates for elliptic systems with right-hand side in divergence form and to make use of Campanato's approach in order to deduce optimal gradient estimates. By the upper and lower bound estimates the authors also deduce an asymptotic formula of the gradient near the origin (which proves to be the blow-up location).
