Mathematical Analysis of Continuum Mechanics and Industrial Applications III
This book focuses on mathematical theory and numerical simulation related to various areas of continuum mechanics, such as fracture mechanics, (visco)elasticity, optimal shape design, modelling of earthquakes and Tsunami waves, material structure, interface dynamics and complex systems. Written by leading researchers from the fields of applied mathematics, physics, seismology, engineering, and industry with an extensive knowledge of mathematical analysis, it helps readers understand how mathematical theory can be applied to various phenomena, and conversely, how to formulate actual phenomena as mathematical problems. This book is the sequel to the proceedings of the International Conference of Continuum Mechanics Focusing on Singularities (CoMFoS) 15 and CoMFoS16.

Analysis of Cracks in Solids
The need for progress in modelling and analysis of crack problems in solids has resulted in renewed attempts at using modern approaches to boundary value problems. By taking a different viewpoint on the traditional treatment of many problems, such as crack theory, the range that can be resolved through mathematical tools is enlarged. This book provides a fresh outlook on crack problems, displaying new methods of studying these and proposing new models for cracks in elastic and nonelastic bodies satisfying physically suitable nonpenetration conditions between crack faces. Two- and three-dimensional bodies, plates and shells with cracks are considered. Properties of solutions such as existence of solutions, regularity up to the crack faces, and convergence of solutions as parameters of a system are varying are established, while different constitutive laws such as elastic, thermoelastic and elastoplastic are also analysed. The new approach presented by the authors is intriguing because it fails to lead to violation of physical properties. In addition, the boundary conditions analysed are given in the form of inequalities, and are properly nonpenetration conditions of crack faces. Thi
The Variational Approach to Fracture
Presenting original results from both theoretical and numerical viewpoints, this text offers a detailed discussion of the variational approach to brittle fracture. This approach views crack growth as the result of a competition between bulk and surface energy, treating crack evolution from its initiation all the way to the failure of a sample. The authors model crack initiation, crack path, and crack extension for arbitrary geometries and loads.
