Numerical experiments in 2D variational fracture by M. Angelillo, A. Fortunato, E. Babilio, M. Lippiello, L. Cardamone

“…Essentially the analysis is based on a recent formulation by Francfort and Marigo the main difference being the fact that we rely on local rather than on global minimization. Propagation of fracture is obtained by minimizing, in a step by step process, a form of energy that is the sum of bulk and interface terms. …”
