Abstract: In non-linear incompatible elasticity, the configurations are maps from a non-Euclidean body manifold into the ambient Euclidean space, $mathbb{R}^k$. We prove the $Gamma$-convergence of elastic energies for configurations of a converging sequence, $mathcal{M}_{n}omathcalM$, of body manifolds. This convergence result has several implications: (i) It can be viewed as a general structural stability property of the elastic model. (ii) It applies to certain classes of bodies with defects, and in particular, to the limit of bodies with increasingly dense edge-dislocations. (iii) It applies to approximation of elastic bodies by piecewise-affine manifolds. In the context of continuously-distributed dislocations, it reveals that the torsion field, which has been used traditionally to quantify the density of dislocations, is immaterial in the limiting elastic model.
