Note that the authors assume that the normal crack-front velocity is proportional to the difference K - Kc, where K is the local normal "stress intensity factor" and Kc is the local toughness, while we assume that it is proportional to G-Γ. The relation between G and K (and accordingly between Γ and Kc), in the quasistatic and plane stress limits, is given by G= K 2 E, where E is Young's modulus.

Note, however, that a rotation of the "stress intensity factor," from the propagation direction to the normal direction, is missing here and appears properly in. Moreover, a proper rotation of the crack-front velocity, back from the normal direction to the propagation direction [resulting in a Kardar-Paris-Zhang- (KPZ-) like term 1+ h′2], is included in.
