abstract：:A two-dimensional model of the expansion of a crack in an elastic medium is considered in which friction depends on the slip rate and the modulus of cohesion depends on the speed of expansion of the crack. Elastic waves are neglected (quasi-static model). Under some conditions, the expansion of the crack is realized b...
