The proof uses the rigidity estimate for low-energy deformations by Friesecke, James, and Mueller (Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 2002), and a compensated compactness argument in a singular geometry. In addition, possible concentration effects are ruled out by a careful truncation argument.19 pagesFunctional AnalysisConvergence of equilibria of planar thin elastic beamstext
