Title: A dimension reduction result in the framework of structured 
deformations

Abstract: Structured deformations provide a model to non-classical 
deformations of continua suitable for the description of deformations of 
materials whose kinematics requires analysis at both the macroscopic and 
microscopic levels. We present an integral representation result in the 
BV setting departing from an initial energy which includes second order 
derivatives. Based on this result we derive a model for thin structures  
in the framework of structured formations of continua through 
dimensional reduction techniques.
This is a joint work with Pedro Miguel Santos.

Venue: SISSA, lecture room 134 at 2 pm on Wednesday 10 December
