Integral representation for a relaxed optimal design problem for non-simple grade two materials

A measure representation result for a functional modelling optimal design problems for plastic deformations, under linear growth conditions, is obtained. Departing from an energy with a bulk term depending on the deformation gradient and its derivatives, as well as a perimeter term, the functional in question corresponds to the relaxation of this energy with respect to a pair (χ,u), where χ is the characteristic function of a set of finite perimeter and u is a function of bounded hessian.
