| contents | We derive sharp-interface models for one-dimensional brittle fracture via the inverse-deformation approach. Methods of Gamma-convergence are employed to obtain the singular limits of previously proposed models. The latter feature a local, non-convex stored energy of inverse strain, augmented by small interfacial energy, formulated in terms of the inverse-strain gradient. They predict spontaneous fracture with exact crack-opening discontinuities, without the use of damage (phase) fields or pre-existing cracks; crack faces are endowed with a thin layer of surface energy. The models obtained herewith inherit the same properties, except that surface energy is now concentrated at the crack faces. Accordingly, we construct energy-minimizing configurations. For a composite bar with a breakable layer, our results predict a pattern of equally spaced cracks whose number is given as an increasing function of applied load. |
