Configurational forces and the basic laws for crack propagation

This paper develops a framework for dynamical fracture, concentrating on the derivation of basic field equations that describe the motion of the crack tip in two space-dimensions. The theory is based on the notion of configurational forces in conjunction with a mechanical version of the second law.
