This allows us to show existence of a solution based on weak continuity of nonlinear minors of deformation gradients in Sobolev spaces. Resulting deformations are orientation-preserving and injective everywhere in a domain representing the specimen.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-07-25T20:58:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "shape memory alloys", "gradient-polyconvex materials", "sobolev spaces", "elastic energy", "gradient-polyconvex functional" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
