For planar mixed mode crack propagation in brittle materials many similar criteria have been proposed. In this work the Principle of Local Symmetry together with Griffith Criterion will be the governing equations for the evolution. The Stress Intensity Factors, a crucial ingredient in the theory, will be employed in a 'non-local' (regularized) fashion. We prove existence of a Lipschitz path that satisfies the Principle of Local Symmetry (for the approximated stress intensity factors) and then existence of a $BV$-parametrization that satisfies Griffith Criterion (again for the approximated stress intensity factors).
Keywords: rate-independent evolution., principle of local symmetry, Crack propagation.
