18 Gamma-convergence Aim: Derive an effective functional E 0 for multilayers in the Kirchhoff scaling regime as a Γ-limit E h = h 3 E E 0. Definition. Let E h be functionals on a metric space X. (E h ) is said to Γ-converge to E 0, if (i) ( lim inf-inequality ) for every sequence y h y in X one has lim inf E h (y h ) E 0 (y), (ii) ( recovery sequence ) and if for every y X there is a sequence y h y such that lim E h (y h ) = E 0 (y). 10

(E h ) is said to Γ-converge to E 0, if (i) ( lim inf-inequality ) for every sequence y h y in X one has lim inf E h (y h ) E 0 (y), (ii) ( recovery sequence ) and if for every y X there is a sequence y h y such that lim E h (y h ) = E 0 (y). Fact: Γ-convergence & compactness convergence of minimizers. Consequence: Study the minimizers of E 0 instead of E h. 10

Let Ω h = S ( h 2, h 2 ), S R2 rather general.

23 Effective theory for h 0 Theorem. (Compactness) If (y h ) W 1,2 (Ω 1 ), I h (y h ) C, then ( y, h 1 y,3 ) L2 ( y, b) SO(3) a.e. with ( y, b) H 1 (Ω 1 ) independent of x 3. Proof. Follows directly from the homogeneous case. (up to subseq.) Theorem. I h Γ-converges to I 0 with { 1 I 0 (y) = Q 2 S 2 (II) for y A, otherwise, where A = {u W 2,2 (S; R 3 ) : u O(2; 3) a.e.} (the set of isometric immersions), II is the second fundamental form of y and Q 2 is a polynomial of degree 2. 12

27 The quadratic form For F R 2 2 : let ˆF R 3 3 (fill up with 0) and for F R 3 3 : let ˇF R 2 2 (omit last row and column). Set Q 2 (t, F ) := min c R 3 Q 3(t, ˆF + c e 3 ) (= The quadratic form of Kirchhoff s homogeneous plate theory.) Then 1 2 Q 2 (F ) = min Q 2 (t, A + tf + ˇB(t)) dt.

28 On the proof I liminf-ineq.: Adapt the Friesecke/James/Müller approach for homogeneous plates: ( ) I h (y h ) = h Ω 2 W 0 x 3, ( y, h 1 y,3 )(Id + hb (h) ) Ω 1 Q 3 ( x 3, R(x ) T ( y, h 1 y,3 )(Id + hb (h) ) ) Id. h 14

Ω 1 So by construction of Q 2 : lim inf I h (y h ) 1 h 2 S Q 2 (II(x )). 14
31 On the proof II Problem: This shifts the main problem to the construction of the Recovery sequences: For y A with b = y,1 y,2 set ( ) y h (x, x 3 ) = y(x ) + h (x 3 λ(x ))b(x ) + y(x ) f (x ) + h 2 D(x, x 3 ). 15
32 On the proof II Problem: This shifts the main problem to the construction of the Recovery sequences: For y A with b = y,1 y,2 set ( ) y h (x, x 3 ) = y(x ) + h (x 3 λ(x ))b(x ) + y(x ) f (x ) + h 2 D(x, x 3 ). Technical subtlety: Need density (cf. Pakzad/Hornung) of smooth isometric immersions and a representation result: Lemma. Let y be a well-behaved isometric immersion. Then any symmetric tensor field A supported on {II 0}) is of the form A = λii ( f + ( f )T ). Note: For y A, det II = 0. Thus, the PDE A λii = symmetrized gradient for λ is non-elliptic. 15
