Abstract
A local analysis of fracture in creeping materials based upon a critical strain is proposed. We modelize the process zone by a viscous strip and the elastic continuum by a double cantilever shear beam. Closed form solutions for creep crack growth under particular loading conditions are given. Numerical solutions for studying cyclic loading and crack arrest are also proposed.
