Multi-parameter description of crack behavior in quasi-brittle materials offers still enough space for investigations. Several studies have been carried out by the authors in this field [1-3]. One part of the publications by the authors (this work included) contain analyses of the accuracy, convergence and/or tuning of the over-deterministic method that enables determination of the coefficients of the higher-order terms in Williams expansion approximating the stress and displacement fields in a cracked body without any complicated FE formulations. These intermediate studies should bring together a list of recommendations how to use the ODM as effectively as possible and obtain reliable enough values of coefficients of the higher-order terms. Thus, the stress/displacement field can be determined precisely even in a larger distance from the crack tip, which is crucial for assessment of the fracture occurring in quasi-brittle materials.

Abstract In this investigation, we studied the process of dynamic crack propagation in a fiber-reinforced composite material using the optical Coherent Gradient Sensing (CGS) technique combined with high-speed photography. The mode-I fracture toughness of the unidirectional graphite/epoxy composite, IM7/8551-7, as a function of the crack-tip speed, was measured quantitatively. It was found that up to the Rayleigh wave speed of the composite material, the mode-I fracture toughness is a decreasing function of the crack-tip velocity. This behavior is similar to that observed in the dynamic crack propagation along interfaces between two homogeneous solids.
