Energy Release Rates in Fracture of Dissipative Materials
Expressions for the energy release rates in the presence of a propagating crack for a dissipative material are given. The relation between these energy release rates and J-type integrals is shown. This relation is used to calculate the global dissipation during the fracture process.
