Some relaxation results for functionals depending on constrained strain and chemical composition
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 347 (2009) no. 5-6, pp. 337-342.

We prove some relaxation results in the spirit of Anza Hafsa and Mandallena for integral functionals arising in the study of coherent thermochemical equilibria for multiphase solids. The energy density exhibits an explicit dependence on the deformation gradient and on a vector field representing the chemical composition. The deformation gradient satisfies a determinant type constraint and the chemical composition a constraint on the modulus.

On prouve quelques résultats de relaxation dans le même esprit que Anza Hafsa et Mandallena pour des fonctionnelles intégrales provenant de l'étude de l'équilibre thermochimique pour les solides multiphases. La densité d'énergie considérée dépend du gradient de la déformation ainsi que d'un champ de vecteurs représentant la composition chimique du solide. Le gradient de déformation satisfait une contrainte sur son déterminant et la composition chimique une contrainte sur son module.
