Abstract

As for functions of bounded variations (BV ), the space of functions of bounded deformations (BD) can be equipped with different topologies. We propose an extension of the traditional space of BD functions equipped with the weak-* topology. It is shown that in this fine extension, both compactness and weak-* continuity of the trace hold under weak assumptions. This is relevant for applications, where the specimen is typically exposed to forces on the boundary. We give an application to a functional with a linearly growing energy density.
