    Damage of nonlinearly elastic materials at small strain : existence and regularity results
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2009) Thomas, Marita; Mielke, Alexander
    Literaturverz. S. 31 In this paper an existence result for energetic solutions of rate-independent damage processes is established and the temporal regularity of the solution is discussed. We consider a body consisting of a physically nonlinearly elastic material undergoing small deformations and partial damage. The present work is a generalization of [Mielke-Roubicek 2006] concerning the properties of the stored elastic energy density as well as the suitable Sobolev space for the damage variable: While previous work assumes that the damage variable z satisfies z ? W^1,r (Omega) with r>d for Omega ? R^d, we can handle the case r>1 by a new technique for the construction of joint recovery sequences. Moreover, this work generalizes the temporal regularity results to physically nonlinearly elastic materials by analyzing Lipschitz- and Hölder-continuity of solutions with respect to time.

    Approximation schemes for materials with discontinuities
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2020) Bartels, Sören; Milicevic, Marijo; Thomas, Marita; Tornquist, Sven; Weber, Nico
    Damage and fracture phenomena are related to the evolution of discontinuities both in space and in time. This contribution deals with methods from mathematical and numerical analysis to handle these: Suitable mathematical formulations and time-discrete schemes for problems with discontinuities in time are presented. For the treatment of problems with discontinuities in space, the focus lies on FE-methods for minimization problems in the space of functions of bounded variation. The developed methods are used to introduce fully discrete schemes for a rate-independent damage model and for the viscous approximation of a model for dynamic phase-field fracture. Convergence of the schemes is discussed.
