Presenting original results from both theoretical and numerical
viewpoints, this text offers a detailed discussion of the
variational approach to brittle fracture. The key to this approach
is viewing crack growth as the result of a competition between bulk
and surface energy. The variational approach that the authors
champion provides an incisive picture of initiation and propagation
whose features are detailed. It treats crack evolution from its
initiation all the way to the failure of a sample. The authors set
forth tested-and-proven models that you can use to gauge crack
initiation, crack path, and crack extension for arbitrary
geometries and loads. Although the material is mathematical in
nature, the authors avoid unnecessary technicalities. They also
connect the variational approach with more classical treatments of
fracture, demonstrating the distinct results of each approach in
simple test settings and via relevant numerical simulations.
