Abstract
We study the stochastic and periodic homogenization 1-homogeneous convex functionals. We proof some convergence results with respect to stochastic two-scale convergence, which are related to classical Gamma-convergence results. The main result is a general liminf-estimate for a sequence of 1-homogeneous functionals and a two-scale stability result for sequences of convex sets. We apply our results to the homogenization of rateindependent systems with 1-homogeneous dissipation potentials and quadratic energies. In these applications, both the energy and the dissipation potential have an underlying stochastic microscopic structure. We study the particular homogenization problems of Prandlt-Reuss plasticity, Coulomb friction on a macroscopic surface and Coulomb friction on microscopic fissure.
