Abstract

We model and analyze the two-dimensional triangle-to-centred rectangle transformation of elastic crystals. By considering a Ginzburg–Landau type model, we compute the relaxation of the total energy both in the case of compressible and incompressible materials and construct some possible explicit microstructures as the approximate solutions of a non-convex minimization problem.
