Abstract

The fracture dynamics of Homalite-100 plates is discussed in the context of linear theory of fracture mechanics. Dynamic photoelasticity is used for dynamic analysis and finite-element method is used for static analysis. Static and dynamic strain-energy-release rates and kinetic-energyrelease rates for constant-velocity, accelerating, and decelerating cracks are determined in fracturing tension plates and in pretensioned plates impacted by a projectile.
