%0 Report %D 2006 %T An artificial viscosity approach to quasistatic crack growth %A Rodica Toader %A Chiara Zanini %X We introduce a new model of irreversible quasistatic crack growth in which the evolution of cracks is the limit of a suitably modified $\\\\epsilon$-gradient flow of the energy functional, as the \\\"viscosity\\\" parameter $\\\\epsilon$ tends to zero. %G en_US %U http://hdl.handle.net/1963/1850 %1 2367 %2 Mathematics %3 Functional Analysis and Applications %$ Submitted by Andrea Wehrenfennig (andreaw@sissa.it) on 2006-07-26T10:13:38Z\\nNo. of bitstreams: 1\\nmath.AP-0607596.pdf: 297980 bytes, checksum: 7a13d5d5fe36a4577923b3ccd0b0acaf (MD5)
