Abstract

A new approach to irreversible quasistatic fracture growth is given, by means of Young measures. The study concerns a cohesive zone model with prescribed crack path, when the material gives different responses to loading and unloading phases. In the particular situation
of constant unloading response, the result contained in [G. Dal Maso, C. Zanini: Quasi-static crack growth for a cohesive zone model with prescribed crack path. Proc. Roy. Soc. Edinburgh Sect. A, 137A (2007), 253–279.] is recovered. In this case, the convergence of the discrete time approximations is improved.
