- In this paper, the global-in-time $ L^2 $-solvability of the initial-boundary value problem for differential inclusions of doubly-nonlinear type, which arises from fracture mechanics, is proved. This problem is not covered by general existence theories due to the degeneracy and singularity of a dissipation potential along with the nonlinearity of elliptic terms. The existence of solutions is proved based on a minimizing movement scheme, which also plays a crucial role for deriving qualitative and asymptotic properties of strong solutions. Moreover, the solutions to the initial-boundary value problem comply with three properties intrinsic to brittle fracture: complete irreversibility, unilateral equilibrium of an energy and an energy balance law, which cannot generally be realized in dissipative systems. Furthermore, long-time dynamics of strong solutions is also treated, i.e., stationary limits of the global-in-time solutions are characterized as a solution to the stationary problem.
