Some Aspects of the Mechanics and Mechanisms of Dynamic Brittle Fracture

Abstract

dc:description

Previous research in dynamic fracture mechanics has focused largely on steady-state growth in the absence of reflected stress waves. This is because of the analytical and experimental complexities of studying crack propagation in finite geometries. For example, inadequate spatial and temporal resolution is one potential limitation of high-speed photography, as used in the method of caustics, and in dynamic photoelasticity.
