TY - JOUR T1 - Laplace equation in a domain with a rectilinear crack: higher order derivatives of the energy with respect to the crack length Y1 - 2014 A1 - Gianni Dal Maso A1 - Gianluca Orlando A1 - Rodica Toader KW - cracked domains, energy release rate, higher order derivatives, asymptotic expansion of solutions AB -

We consider the weak solution of the Laplace equation in a planar domain with a straight crack, prescribing a homogeneous Neumann condition on the crack and a nonhomogeneous Dirichlet condition on the rest of the boundary. For every k we express the k-th derivative of the energy with respect to the crack length in terms of a finite number of coefficients of the asymptotic expansion of the solution near the crack tip and of a finite number of other parameters, which only depend on the shape of the domain.
