Configurational balance laws for dynamical fracture
|
||||
|
In the spirit of modern continuum mechanics, global balance laws for momentum, angular momentum, energy and pseudomomentum are formulated for an elastic body in the presence of a moving crack. Upon localization, the corresponding balance equations in the bulk and at the crack tip are simultaneously obtained. The proposed framework is convenient for the derivation of the well-known formula, which relates the crack propagation velocity, the global material force and the energy release rate. |
