Variational determination of the crack trajectory in inhomogeneous media
Propagation of a crack through inhomogeneous media is considered in the variational formulation, whereby the path corresponding to the extremum of energy release during fracture is sought. A non-linear differential equation is obtained for the crack trajectory in an inhomogeneous medium subjected to...
