The Variational Approach to Fracture By Blaise Bourdin, Gilles A. Francfort, Jean-Jacques Marigo
Publisher: Sp.rin.ger 2008 | 164 Pages | ISBN: 1402063946 | PDF | 1 MB
Presenting original results from both theoretical and numerical viewpoints, this text offers a detailed discussion of the variational approach to brittle fracture. This approach views crack growth as the result of a competition between bulk and surface energy, treating crack evolution from its initiation all the way to the failure of a sample. The authors model crack initiation, crack path, and crack extension for arbitrary geometries and loads.
