This research aims to advance the understanding of material failure due to fatigue and fracture. It combines existing theories to explore the mechanics of crack growth and its implications for predicting material durability under repeated stress.
During World War I the English aeronautical engineer A.A.
Griffith formulated a theory to explain failure of materials, based on the idea that crack growth is the result of the competition between the surface energy spent to produce the fracture and the energy stored in the uncracked region.
Griffith's viewpoint, that by its own nature is variational, found a rigorous mathematical setting in the variational formulation for quasistatic evolutions by Francfort and Marigo, in 1998.
Remarkably, this…
