Abstract:

The main steps of the proof of the existence result for the quasi-static evolution of cracks in brittle materials, obtained in 7 in the vector case and for a general quasiconvex elastic energy, are presented here under the simplifying assumption that the minimizing sequences involved in the problem are uniformly bounded in $ L^\infty$.
