The Variational Approach to Fracture
Publication year: 2008
: 978-1-4020-6395-4
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.
