Abstract: We analyze the $Gamma$-convergence of sequences of free-discontinuity functionals arising in the modeling of linear elastic solids with surface discontinuities, including phenomena as fracture, damage, or material voids. We prove compactness with respect to $Gamma$-convergence and represent the $Gamma$-limit in an integral form defined on the space of generalized special functions of bounded deformation ($GSB{D}^p$). We identify the integrands in terms of asymptotic cell formulas and prove a non-interaction property between bulk and surface contributions. Eventually, we investigate sequences of corresponding boundary value problems and show convergence of minimum values and minimizers. In particular, our techniques allow to characterize relaxations of functionals on $GSB{D}^p$, and cover the classical case of periodic homogenization.
