Abstract

Keller's phase-interchange relation, which computes the overall conductivity of a two-dimensional checkerboard with alternating conductivity, is revisited in the context of nonlinear incompressible elasticity. A general phase-interchange relation is obtained in a monotone setting through H-convergence and in a convex setting through variational methods. Several Keller-like applications are presented.
