Configurational balance laws for dynamical fracture

In the spirit of modern continuum mechanics, global balance laws for momentum, angular momentum, energy and pseudomomentum are formulated for an elastic body in the presence of a moving crack. Upon localization, the corresponding balance equations in the bulk and at the crack tip are simultaneously...
