Abstract

We study the relations between a dynamic model proposed by Bourdin, Larsen and Richardson, and quasi-static fracture evolution. We assume the dynamic model has the boundary displacements of the material as input, and consider time-rescaled solutions of this model associated to a sequence of boundary conditions with speed going to zero. Next, we study whether this rescaled sequence converges to a function satisfying quasi-static fracture evolution. Under some hypotheses and assuming the speed of crack propagation slows down following the deceleration of boundary displace- ments, our main result shows that (up to a subsequence) the rescaled solutions converge to a quasi-static evolution.
