We study microstructure formation in two nonconvex singularly-perturbed variational problems from materials science, one modeling austenite-martensite interfaces in shape-memory alloys, the other one slip structures in the plastic deformation of crystals. For both functionals we determine the scaling of the optimal energy in terms of the parameters of the problem, leading to a characterization of the mesoscopic phase diagram. Our results identify the presence of a new phase, which is intermediate between the classical laminar microstructures and branching patterns. The new phase, characterized by partial branching, appears for both problems in the limit of small volume fraction, that is, if one of the variants (or of the slip systems) dominates the picture and the volume fraction of the other one is small.

We consider a singularly-perturbed nonconvex energy functional which arises in the study of microstructures in shape memory alloys. The scaling law for the minimal energy predicts a transition from a parameter regime in which uniform structures are f avored, to a regime in which the formation of fine patterns is expected. We focus on the transition regime and derive the reduced model in the sense of $Gamma$-convergence. The limit functional turns out to be similar to the Mumford-Shah functional with additional constraints on the jump set of admissible functions. One key ingredient in the proof is an approximation result for $SBV^p$ functions whose jump sets have a prescribed orientation.
We study dislocation networks in the plane using the vectorial phase-field model introduced by Ortiz and coworkers, in the limit of small lattice spacing. We show that, in a scaling regime where the total length of the dislocations is large, the phas e field model reduces to a simpler model of the strain-gradient type. The limiting model contains a term describing the three-dimensional elastic energy and a strain-gradient term describing the energy of the geometrically necessary dislocations, characterized by the tangential gradient of the slip. The energy density appearing in the strain-gradient term is determined by the solution of a cell problem, which depends on the line tension energy of dislocations. In the case of cubic crystals with isotropic elasticity our model shows that complex microstructures may form, in which dislocations with different Burgers vector and orientation react with each other to reduce the total self energy.
Imposing either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions on the boundary of a smooth bounded domain $Omega$, we study the perturbation incurred by the voltage potential when the conductivity is modified in a set of small measure. We consider $left(ga mma_{n}right)_{ninmathbb{N}}$, a sequence of perturbed conductivity matrices differing from a smooth $gamma_{0}$ background conductivity matrix on a measurable set well within the domain, and we assume $left(gamma_{n}-gamma_{0}right)gamma_{n}^{-1}left(gamma_{n}-gamma_{0}right)to0$ in $L^{1}(Omega)$. Adapting the limit measure, we show that the general representation formula introduced for bounded contrasts in citep{capdeboscq-vogelius-03a} can be extended to unbounded sequencesof matrix valued conductivities.

We study the time harmonic Maxwell equations in a meta-material consisting of perfect conductors and void space. The meta-material is assumed to be periodic with period $eta > 0$; we study the behaviour of solutions $(E^{eta}, H^{eta})$ in the limit $eta to 0$ and derive an effective system. In geometries with a non-trivial topology, the limit system implies that certain components of the effective fields vanish. We identify the corresponding effective system and can predict, from topological properties of the meta-material, whether or not it permits the propagation of waves.
Crystal plasticity is mediated through dislocations, which form knotted configurations in a complex energy landscape. Once they disentangle and move, they may also be impeded by permanent obstacles with finite energy barriers or frustrating long-rang e interactions. The outcome of such complexity is the emergence of dislocation avalanches as the basic mechanism of plastic flow in solids at the nanoscale. While the deformation behavior of bulk materials appears smooth, a predictive model should clearly be based upon the character of these dislocation avalanches and their associated strain bursts. We provide here a comprehensive overview of experimental observations, theoretical models and computational approaches that have been developed to unravel the multiple aspects of dislocation avalanche physics and the phenomena leading to strain bursts in crystal plasticity.
