Abstract
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 not ion of configurational forces in conjunction with a mechanical version of the second law. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
