An Analysis of Ralston's Quadrature.
We establish an approximation theorem for a sequence of linear elastic strains approaching a compact set in by the sequence of linear strains of mapping bounded in Sobolev space . We apply this result to establish equalities for semiconvex envelopes for functions defined on linear strains via a construction of quasiconvex functions with linear growth.
