    "abstract": "We study a theoretical model of mud cracks, that is, the fracture patterns\nresulting from the contraction with drying in a thin layer of a mixture of\ngranules and water. In this model, we consider the slip on the bottom of this\nlayer and the relaxation of the elastic field that represents deformation of\nthe layer. Analysis of the one-dimensional model gives results for the crack\nsize that are consistent with experiments. We propose an analytical method of\nestimation for the growth velocity of a simple straight crack to explain the\nvery slow propagation observed in actual experiments. Numerical simulations\nreveal the dependence of qualitative nature of the formation of crack patterns\non material properties.",
