Delamination in visco-elastic materials with thermal effects

This contribution reports on a model describing the evolution of brittle delamination between two visco-elastic bodies Ω₊ and Ω₋, bonded along a prescribed contact surface Γ_C, over a fixed time interval (0, T); a detailed discussion and a rigorous mathematical analysis can be found in [1].
