Abstract

We establish two new formulations of the membrane problem by working in the space of $W^{1,p}_{\Gamma_0}(\Omega,\mathbf R^3)$ -Young measures and $W^{1,p}_{\Gamma_0}(\Omega,\mathbf R^3)$ -varifolds. The energyfunctional related to these formulations is obtained as a limit of the 3d formulation of the behavior of a thin layer for a suitable variational convergence associated with the narrow convergence of Young measures and with some weak convergence of varifolds. Theinterest of the first formulation is to encode the oscillation informations on the gradients minimizing sequences related to the classicalformulation. The second formulation moreover accounts for concentration effects.
