Quasistatic crack growth for a cohesive zone model with prescribed crack path

arXiv:math/0506353

Abstract

In this paper we study the quasistatic crack growth for a cohesive zone model. We assume that the crack path is prescribed and we study the time evolution of the crack in the framework of the variational theory of rate-independent processes.
