Partial regularity for the crack set minimizing the two-dimensional Griffith energy

Analysis of PDEs 2019-05-27 v1

Abstract

In this paper we prove a C1,α\mathcal C^{1,\alpha} regularity result for minimizers of the planar Griffith functional arising from a variational model of brittle fracture. We prove that any isolated connected component of the crack, the singular set of a minimizer, is locally a C1,α\mathcal C^{1,\alpha} curve outside a set of zero Hausdorff measure.
