Under the assumption that the energy density admits a quadratic Taylor expansion at identity, we prove that the Gamma-limits associated to homogenization and linearization commute. Moreover, we show that the homogenized energy density, which is determined by a multi-cell homogenization formula, has a quadratic Taylor expansion with a quadratic term that is given by the homogenization of the quadratic term associated to the linearization of the initial energy density.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2011-05-16T12:14:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35B27", "49J45", "74E30", "74Q05", "74Q20" ], "keywords": [ "energy density", "finite elasticity", "homogenization", "quadratic taylor expansion", "elastic energy functionals" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1007/s00205-011-0438-7", "journal": "Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis", "year": 2011, "month": "Aug", "volume": 201, "number": 2, "pages": 465 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011ArRMA.201..465M" } } }
