A nonlocal field theory of peridynamic type is applied to model the brittle fracture problem.
The elastic fields obtained from the nonlocal model are shown to converge in the limit of …

A computational model for arbitrary brittle crack propagation, in a fault-like layer within a 3-d
elastic domain, and its associated quasi-static and dynamic fields is developed and …

The aim of this paper is to study the quasistatic limit of a one-dimensional model of dynamic
debonding. We start from a dynamic problem that strongly couples the wave equation in a …

We introduce a notion of solution to the wave equation on a suitable class of time-dependent
domains and compare it with a previous definition. We prove an existence result for the …

In this paper we present a one-dimensional model of a dynamic peeling test for a thin film,
where the wave equation is coupled with a Griffith criterion for the propagation of the …

In this paper, we formulate and study the system of elastodynamics on domains with
arbitrary growing cracks. This includes homogeneous Neumann conditions on the crack sets …

In this paper, we analyze a system for brittle delamination between two visco-elastic bodies,
also subject to inertia, which can be interpreted as a model for dynamic fracture. The rate …

We prove the existence of weak solutions to the homogeneous wave equation on a suitable
class of time-dependent domains. Using the approach suggested by De Giorgi and …

We analyse a one-dimensional model of dynamic debonding for a thin film, where the local
toughness of the glue between the film and the substrate also depends on the debonding …

We consider a model of elastodynamics with fracture evolution, based on energy-dissipation
balance and a maximal dissipation condition. We prove an existence result in the case of …
