%0 Journal Article %T HAMILTONIAN INCLUSIONS WITH CONVEX DISSIPATION WITH A VIEW TOWARDS APPLICATIONS %A Marius Buliga %J Mathematics and its Applications : Annals of the Academy of Romanian Scientists %D 2010 %I Academy of Romanian Scientists Publishing House %X We propose a generalization of Hamiltonian mechanics, as a Hamiltonian inclusion with convex dissipation function. We obtain a dynamical version of the approach of Mielke to quasistatic rate-independent processes. Then we show that a class of models of dynamical brittle damage can be formulated in this setting. %K Hamiltonian methods %K nonlocal damage %K convex dissipation %U http://www.mathematics-and-its-applications.com/preview/january/data/1_buliga.pdf
