Abstract

Some minimum theorems potentially useful to construct numerical schemes related to quasi-static evolution of damage in brittle elastic solids are proposed. The approach is that of multifield theories, with a second-order damage tensor describing the microcrack density. The use of damage entropy flux and damage pseudo-potential are both investigated.
