Abstract

We give results for the approximation of a laminate withvarying volume fractions for multi-well energy minimizationproblems modeling martensitic crystals thatcan undergo either an orthorhombicto monoclinic or a cubic to tetragonal transformation. We construct energy minimizing sequences of deformations which satisfythe corresponding boundary condition, and we establish a series of error bounds in terms of the elastic energyfor the approximation of the limiting macroscopicdeformation and the simply laminated microstructure.Finally, we give results for the corresponding finite element approximation of the laminate with varying volume fractions.
