We consider the two‐dimensional elasticity problem for an elastic body with a crack under unilateral constraints imposed at the crack. We assume that both the Signorini condition for non‐penetration of the crack faces and the condition of given friction between them are fulfilled. The problem is non‐linear and can be described by a variational inequality. Varying the shape of the crack by a local coordinate transformation of the domain, the first derivative of the energy functional to the problem with respect to the crack length is obtained, which gives the criterion for the crack growing. The regularity of the solution is discussed and the singular solution is performed. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

We prove the existence of solutions to the three-dimensional elastoplastic problem with Hencky's law and Neumann boundary conditions by elliptic regularization and the penalty method, both for the case of a smooth boundary and of an interior two dimensional crack. It is shown, in particular, that the variational solution satisfies all boundary conditions. © 1998 B. G. Teubner Stuttgart–John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
