Abstract
We consider the stationary linear elasticity problem for a solid with fractures, and review, in the framework of Legendre-Fenchel duality, three equivalent formulations for the problem in terms of displacement, stress, and strain. For periodically distributed fractures, we prove a homogenization result using Mosco convergence in the
L2 topology.
