Quasistatic crack growth in finite elasticity

Analysis of PDEs 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we prove a new existence result for a variational model of crack growth in brittle materials proposed in [15]. We consider the case of nn-dimensional finite elasticity, for an arbitrary n1n\ge1, with a quasiconvex bulk energy and with prescribed boundary deformations and applied loads, both depending on time.
