Analysis of an atomistic model for anti-plane fracture

Analysis of PDEs 2019-11-07 v2

Abstract

We develop a model for an anti-plane crack defect posed on a square lattice under an interatomic pair-potential with nearest-neighbour interactions. In particular, we establish existence, local uniqueness and stability of solutions for small loading parameters and further prove qualitatively sharp far-field decay estimates. The latter requires establishing decay estimates for the corresponding lattice Green's function, which are of independent interest.
