Local well-posedness for Frémond's model of complete damage in elastic solids
arXiv:2006.14240
Abstract
We consider a model for the evolution of damage in elastic materials originally proposed by Michel Frémond. For the corresponding PDE system we prove existence and uniqueness of a local in time strong solution. The main novelty of our result stands in the fact that, differently from previous contributions, we assume no occurrence of any type of regularizing terms.
