Abstract
Linearized elastic energies are derived from rescaled nonlinear energies by means of Γ-convergence. For Dirichlet and mixed boundary value problems in a Lipschitz domain Ω, the convergence of minimizers takes place in the weak topology of H 1(Ω,R n) and in the strong topology of W 1,q(Ω,R n) for 1≤q<2.
