Assuming stationarity for the random volume and surface integrands, we prove the
existence of a homogenised random free-discontinuity functional, which is deterministic in the ergodic case. Moreover, by establishing a connection between the deterministic convergence of the functionals at any fixed realisation and the pointwise Subadditive Ergodic Theorem by Akcoglou and Krengel, we characterise the limit volume and surface integrands in terms of asymptotic cell formulas.1 aCagnetti, Filippo1 aDal Maso, Gianni1 aScardia, Lucia1 aZeppieri, Caterina Ida  uhttp://preprints.sissa.it/handle/1963/3530901393nas a2200145   4500008004100000245005300041210005100094260001000145520095500155100002201110700002101132700001901153700002701172856004801199       2017                        en  d00aGamma-Convergence of Free-discontinuity problems0 aGammaConvergence of Freediscontinuity problems  bSISSA3 aWe study the Gamma-convergence of sequences of free-discontinuity functionals depending on vector-valued functions u which can be discontinuous across hypersurfaces whose shape and location are not known a priori. The main novelty of our result is that we work under very general assumptions on the integrands which, in particular, are not required to be periodic in the space variable. Further, we consider the case of surface integrands which are not bounded from below by the amplitude of the jump of u. We obtain three main results: compactness with respect to Gamma-convergence, representation of the Gamma-limit in an integral form and identification of its integrands, and homogenisation formulas without periodicity assumptions. In particular, the classical case of periodic homogenisation follows as a by-product of our analysis. Moreover, our result covers also the case of stochastic homogenisation, as we will show in a forthcoming paper.1 aCagnetti, Filippo1 aDal Maso, Gianni1 aScardia, Lucia1 aZeppieri, Caterina Ida  uhttp://preprints.sissa.it/handle/1963/3527600925nas a2200121   4500008004100000245010900041210006900150260001300219520049100232100002500723700001900748856003600767       2012                        en  d00aConvergence of equilibria of thin elastic plates under physical growth conditions for the energy density0 aConvergence of equilibria of thin elastic plates under physical   bElsevier3 a<p>The asymptotic behaviour of the equilibrium configurations of a thin elastic plate is studied, as the thickness $h$ of the plate goes to zero. More precisely, it is shown that critical points of the nonlinear elastic functional $\mathcal E^h$, whose energies (per unit thickness) are bounded by $Ch^4$, converge to critical points of the $\Gamma$-limit of $h^{-4}\mathcal E^h$. This is proved under the physical assumption that the energy density $W(F)$ blows up as $\det F\to0$.</p>1 aMora, Maria Giovanna1 aScardia, Lucia  uhttp://hdl.handle.net/1963/3466
