Abstract
Delamination of elastic bodies glued together by an adhesive absorbing a specific amount of energy during the delamination process is formulated as an activated, rate-independent process. A solution is defined by energetic principles of stability and balance of stored and dissipated energies with the work of external loading, realized here through displacement on a part of the boundary.
Rigorous analysis by time discretization is performed, together with further finite-element spatial discretization and computer simulations of model problems.
