Abstract: We establish a general weak* lower semicontinuity result in the space BD(Omega) of functions of bounded deformation for functionals of the form Fcal(u) := int_Omega f �igl(x, Ecal u �igr) dd x + int_Omega f^infty Bigl(x, frac{di E^s u}{di abs{E^s u}} Bigr) dd abs{E^s u} + int_{partial Omega} f^infty �igl(x, u|_{partial Omega} odot n_Omega �igr) dd Hcal^{d-1}, uinBD(Omega). The main novelty is that we allow for non-vanishing Cantor-parts in the symmetrized derivative Eu. The proof is accomplished via Jensen-type inequalities for generalized Young measures and a construction of good blow-ups, which is based on local rigidity arguments for some differential inclusions involving symmetrized gradients. This strategy allows us to establish the lower semicontinuity result without an Alberti-type theorem in BD(Omega), which is not available at present. We also include existence and relaxation results for variational problems in BD(Omega), as well as a complete discussion of some differential inclusions for the symmetrized gradient in two dimensions.
