Quasistatic crack growth in 2d-linearized elasticity
Annales de l'I.H.P. Analyse non linéaire, Tome 35 (2018) no. 1, pp. 27-64.

In this paper we prove a two-dimensional existence result for a variational model of crack growth for brittle materials in the realm of linearized elasticity. Starting with a time-discretized version of the evolution driven by a prescribed boundary load, we derive a time-continuous quasistatic crack growth in the framework of generalized special functions of bounded deformation (GSBD). As the time-discretization step tends to zero, the major difficulty lies in showing the stability of the static equilibrium condition, which is achieved by means of a Jump Transfer Lemma generalizing the result of [19] to the GSBD setting. Moreover, we present a general compactness theorem for this framework and prove existence of the evolution without imposing a-priori bounds on the displacements or applied body forces.
