Local well-posedness for Frémond's model of complete damage in elastic solids

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We consider a model for the evolution of damage in elastic materials originally proposed by Michel Frémond. For the corresponding PDE system, we prove existence and uniqueness of a local in time strong solution. The main novelty of our result stands in the fact that, differently from previous contributions, we assume no occurrence of any type of regularising terms.
