Energy release rate and quasi-static evolution via vanishing viscosity in a fracture model depending on the crack opening
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 23 (2017) no. 3, pp. 791-826.

In the setting of planar linearized elasticity, we study a fracture model depending on the crack opening. Assuming that the crack path is known a priori and sufficiently smooth, we prove that the energy release rate is well defined. Then, we consider the problem of quasi-static evolution for our model. Thanks to a vanishing viscosity approach, we show the existence of such an evolution satisfying a weak Griffith’s criterion.
