Crack growth by vanishing viscosity in planar elasticity
We show the existence of quasistatic evolutions in a fracture model for brittle materials by a vanishing viscosity approach, in the setting of planar linearized elasticity. Differently from previous works, the crack is not prescribed a priori and is selected in a class of (unions of) regular curves....
