Approximation of a Brittle Fracture Energy with a Constraint of Non-Interpenetration
Résumé
Linear fracture mechanics (or at least the initiation part of that theory) can be framed in a variational context as a minimization problem over a SBD type space. The corresponding functional can in turn be approximated in the sense of Γ-convergence by a sequence of functionals involving a phase field as well as the displacement field. We show that a similar approximation persists if additionally imposing a non-interpenetration constraint in the minimization, namely that only nonnegative normal jumps should be permissible.
