Brittle Thin Films
Andrea Braides and Irene Fonseca ABSTRACT: A 2-dimensional model for brittle thin films is obtained from a 3-dimensional fracture model for elastic material. -convergence techniques are used to identify the limiting effective energy as the thickness of the sample approaches zero. 1991 Mathematics subject classification (Amer. Math. Soc.): 35E99, 35M10, 49J45, 73C50, 73M25 Key Words : -limit, thin films, functions of bounded variation, fracture mechanics Get the paper in its entirety as
