Abstract

In this paper we prove a Korn-type inequality with non-constant coefficients which arises from applications in elasto-plasticity at large deformations. More precisely, let Ω ⊂ R3 be a bounded Lipschitz domain and let Γ ⊂ ∂Ω be a smooth part of the boundary with non-vanishing two-dimensional Lebesgue measure. Define and let be given with det Fp(x) ≥ μ+ > 0. Moreover, suppose that Rot . Then Clearly, this result generalizes the classical Korn's first inequality which is just our result with Fp = 11. With slight modifications, we are also able to treat forms of the type
