Abstract

We prove that functions with bounded deformationu: Ω → ℝn, Ω ⊂ ℝn, i.e., such mappings that the symmetric part of the gradient\(\frac{1}{2}\left( {\nabla u + \left( {\nabla u} \right)^T } \right)\) is a measure, are approximately differentiable a.e. Then we generalize the result to a more general class of functions.
