Synopsis

In this paper, a counterexample is given to the H1-boundedness of solutions to a sequence of systems of linear partial differential equations uniformly satisfying a strict Legendre–Hadamard condition and whose coefficients depend on one direction only. This counterexample is relevant for the theory of homogenisation of laminated elastic materials.
