A new class of constrained variational problems, which describe fluid-driven cracks (that are pressurized fractures created by pumping fracturing fluids), is considered within the nonlinear theory of coupled poroelastic models stated in the incremental form. The two-phase medium is constituted by solid particles and fluid-saturated pores; it contains a crack subjected to non-penetration condition between the opposite crack faces. The inequality-constrained optimization is expressed as a saddle-point problem with respect to the unknown solid phase displacement, pore pressure, and contact force. Applying the Lagrange multiplier approach and the Delfour-Zolésio theorem, the shape derivative for the corresponding Lagrangian function is derived using rigorous asymptotic methods. The resulting formula describes the energy release rate under irreversible crack perturbations, which is useful for application of the Griffith criterion of quasi-static fracture.
