Abstract: In this paper it is shown that if

O m e g a s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{N}

is an open, bounded Lipschitz set, and if

f : O m e g a i m e s m a t h b b R^{d i m e s N i m e s N} i g h t a r r o w [0, i n f t y)

is a continuous function with

f (x, c d o t)

of linear growth for all

x i n O m e g a

, then the relaxed functional in the space of functions of Bounded Hessian of the energy [ F[u] = int_{Omega} f(x,

abla^2u(x)) dx ] for bounded sequences in $W^{2, 1}$ is given by [ {cal F}[u] = int_Omega {cal Q}_2f(x, abla^2u) dx + int_Omega ({cal Q}_2f)^{infty}�igg(x, frac{d D_s( abla u)}{d |D_s( abla u)|} �igg) d |D_s(

abla u) |. ] This result is obtained using blow-up techniques and establishes a second order version of the

B V

relaxation theorems of Ambrosio and Dal Maso and Fonseca and M"uller. The use of the blow-up method is intended to facilitate future study of integrands which include lower order terms and applications in the field of second order structured deformations.
