Abstract: We analyze a term penalizing surface self-penetration, as a soft constraint for models of hyperelastic materials to approximate the Ciarlet-Nev{c}as condition (almost everywhere global invertibility of deformations). For a linear elastic energy subject to an additional local invertibility constraint, we prove that the penalized elastic functionals converge to the original functional subject to the Ciarlet-Nev{c}as condition. The approach also works for nonlinear models of non-simple materials including a suitable higher order term in the elastic energy, without artificial local constraints. Numerical experiments illustrate our results for a self-contact problem in 3d.
