Abstract
AbstractIn this paper we introduce a model of dynamic crack growth in viscoelastic materials, where the damping term depends on the history of the deformation. The model is based on a dynamic energy dissipation balance and on a maximal dissipation condition. Our main result is an existence theorem in dimension two under some a priori regularity constraints on the cracks.
