The variational formulation of brittle fracture: numerical implementation and extensions
This paper presents the implementation of a variational formulation of brittle fracture mechanics proposed by G.A. Francfort and J.-J. Marigo in 1998. The essence of the model relies on successive global minimizations of an energy with respect to any crack set and any kinematically admissible displacement field. We briefly present the model itself, and its variational approximation in the sense...
متن کاملNumerical implementation of the variational formulation for quasi-static brittle fracture
This paper presents the analysis and implementation of the variational formulation of quasi-static brittle fracture mechanics proposed by G. A. Francfort and J.-J. Marigo in 1998. We briefly present the model itself, and its variational approximation in the sense of Γ -convergence. We propose a numerical algorithm based on Alternate Minimizations and prove its convergence under restrictive assu...
متن کاملOn the convergence of 3D free discontinuity models in variational fracture
Free discontinuity problems arising in the variational theory for fracture mechanics are considered.AΓ -convergence proof for an r-adaptive 3Dfinite element discretization is given in the case of a brittle material. The optimal displacement field, crack pattern and mesh geometry are obtained through a variational procedure that encompasses both mechanical and configurational forces. Possible ex...
متن کاملSemiparametric Mean Field Variational Bayes: General Principles and Numerical Issues
We introduce the term semiparametric mean field variational Bayes to describe the relaxation of mean field variational Bayes in which some density functions in the product density restriction are pre-specified to be members of convenient parametric families. This notion has appeared in various guises in the mean field variational Bayes literature during its history and we endeavor to unify this...
متن کاملRelaxation of Free-discontinuity Energies with Obstacles
Given a Borel function ψ defined on a bounded open set Ω with Lipschitz boundary and φ ∈ L1(∂Ω,Hn−1), we prove an explicit representation formula for the L lower semicontinuous envelope of Mumford-Shah type functionals with the obstacle constraint u ≥ ψ Hn−1 a.e. on Ω and the Dirichlet boundary condition u = φ on ∂Ω. Mathematics Subject Classification. 49J45, 74R10. Received December 12, 2006. ...
