Contacting bodies subjected to sufficiently large applied shear will undergo frictional sliding. The onset of this motion is mediated by dynamically propagating fronts, akin to earthquakes, that rupture the discrete contacts that form the interface separating the bodies. Macroscopic motion commences only after these ruptures have traversed the entire interface. Comparison of measured rupture dynamics with the detailed predictions of fracture mechanics reveals that the propagation dynamics, dissipative properties, radiation, and arrest of these “laboratory earthquakes” are in excellent quantitative agreement with the predictions of the theory of brittle fracture. Thus, interface fracture replaces the idea of a characteristic static friction coefficient as a description of the onset of friction. This fracture-based description of friction additionally provides a fundamental description of earthquake dynamics and arrest.

New version of new proposed fracture theory called N-N was introduced as concepts and hypotheses. In this research analytical discussions and applications in addition to detailed explanation of physical meaning and conceptual formation of is introduced. The current theory depends mainly on energy approach in LEFM for isotropic brittle materials and can be applied for ductile materials and composites regarding their different properties. This theory represents an extension of the continued efforts to obtain a unified view for all ideas and proposals of the majority of the researchers in the field of development of the fracture theories to predict the mechanism and mechanical aspects of cracking process. Fundamental new concepts and analytical hypotheses are introduced.

The historical developments of the fracture mechanics from planar theory to threedimensional (3D) theory are reviewed. The two-dimensional (2D) theories of fracture mechanics have been developed perfectly in the past 80 years, and are suitable for some specific cases of engineering applications. However, in the complicated 3D world, the limitation of the 2D fracture theory has become evident with development of the structure toward complication and micromation. In the 1990’s, Guo has proposed the 3D fracture theory with a 3D constraint factor based on the deformation theory and energy theory. The proposed 3D theory can predict accurately the fracture problems for practical and complicated engineering structures with defects, by integrating the 3D theory of fatigue, which has been developed to unify fatigue and fracture. Our efforts to develop the 3D fracture mechanics and the unified theory of 3D fatigue and fracture are summarized, and perspectives for future efforts are outlined.

A type of tensile fracture topography encountered fairly often in certain temperature ranges with specimens from forgings, billets, rod, and bar of quenched and tempered steel, is the “star” or “rosette.” Having available several steels which had been shown to be capable of exhibiting the rosette, star, fracture, tensile testing was done to establish the temperature ranges for which this fracture configuration was applicable. Explanations of the fracture, and determinations of the fracture modes, were sought through experimentation involving metallography and the electron microscope, and by application of continuum mathematical plasticity-fracture theory.
