Abstract

In this paper, we consider an overlapping domain problem for two elastic bodies. A glue condition of an equality-type is imposed at a given line. Simultaneously, a part of this line is considered to be a crack face with an inequality-type boundary condition describing mutual non-penetration between crack faces. Variational and differential formulations of the problem are considered. We prove a differentiability of the energy functional in the case of rectilinear cracks and find a formula for invariant integrals. Passage to the limit is justified provided that the rigidity of the body goes to infinity.
