      abstract = {This book exposes a number of mathematical models for  fracture of growing difficulty. All models are treated in a  unified way, based on incremental energy minimization. They  differ from each other by the assumptions made on the  inelastic part of the total energy, here called the  "cohesive energy". Each model describes a specific aspect  of material response, and particular care is devoted to  underline the correspondence of each model to the  experiments. The content of the book is a re-elaboration of  the lectures delivered at the First Sperlonga Summer School  on Mechanics and Engineering Sciences in September 2011. In  the year and a half elapsed after the course, the material  has been revised and enriched with new and partially  unpublished results. Significant additions have been  introduced in the occasion of the course "The variational  approach to fracture and other inelastic phenomena",  delivered at SISSA, Trieste, in March 2013. The Notes  reflect a research line carried on by the writer over the  years, addressed to a comprehensive description of the many  aspects of the phenomenon of fracture, and to its relations  with other phenomena, such as the formation of  microstructure and the changes in the material's strength  induced by plasticity and damage.},
