Dynamic fracture: an example of convergence towards a discontinuous quasi-static solution
Abstract
Considering a one-dimensional problem of debonding of a thin film in the context of Griffith's theory, we show that the dynamical solution converges, when the speed of loading goes down to 0, to a quasistatic solution including an unstable phase of propagation. In particular, the jump of the debonding induced by this instability is governed by a principle of conservation of the total quasistatic energy, the kinetic energy being negligible.
