Evolution of Rate{Independent Inelasticity with Microstructure using Relaxation and Young Measures

We use the energetic formulation for rate-independent inelasticity which is based in the dissipation distance on the internal state. From this the incremental problems inherit a variational form which can be used to derive suitable relaxations. As a result we obtain a similar energetic formulation on the set of Young measures which then describes the evolution of microstructure.
