Abstract
In this paper we derive explicit formulas for disarrangement densities of
submacroscopic separations, switches, and interpenetrations in the context of
first-order structured deformations. Our derivation employs relaxation within one
mathematical setting for structured deformations of a specific, purely interfacial
density, and the formula we obtain agrees with one obtained earlier in a different
setting for structured deformations. Coincidentally, our derivation provides an
alternative method for obtaining the earlier result, and we establish new
explicit formulas for other measures of disarrangements that are significant in
applications.
