AbstractTensile tests on notched plates of single-crystalline silicon were carried out at high overloads. Cracks were forced to propagate on {110} planes in a <110> direction. The dynamics of the fracture process was measured using the potential drop technique and correlated with the fracture surface morphology. Crack propagation velocity did not exceed a terminal velocity of v = 3800 m/s, which corresponds to 83%7 of the Rayleigh wave velocity vR. Specimens fractured at low stresses exhibited crystallographic cleavage whereas a transition from mirror-like smooth regions to rougher hackle zones was observed in case of the specimens fractured at high stresses. Inspection of the mirror zone at high magnification revealed a deviation of the {110} plane onto {111} crystallographic facets.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the nonlocal effect on dynamic crack propagation velocity. Some experimental phenomena in dynamic fracture and simulative results using molecular & atom dynamics were analyzed and discussed in this paper. The authors found that there were still some disagreements on the dynamic crack propagation velocity. Based on these researches, we introduced nonlocal field theories into the estimation of dynamic crack propagation velocity. The dynamic crack propagation velocity is affected not only by the crack instability, but by characteristic length of material. A nonlocal characteristic length parameter M is defined through a double pile-up dislocation model. According to the Mott’s research method for crack velocity in dynamic fracture and the nonlocal field theories, an approximate theoretical dynamic propagation velocity is obtained. And we conclude that the velocity is related to the combined activity of the nonlocal characteristic length parameter M, the velocity of longitudinal wave, constant k, crack length and Poisson’s ratio.

An analytical solution via the beam theory considering shear deformation effects is developed to solve the static and dynamic fracture problem in a bounded medium such as DCB (Double Cantilever Beam) specimen. In the static case, the stress intensity factor (SIF) is derived at the crack tip through the compliance approach for fixed displacement conditions. In the dynamic case, the energy balance criterion is employed to obtain the equation of motion for a running crack and the problem is solved supposing quasi-static crack propagation. Finally, a closed form relation for the crack propagation velocity versus specimen parameters and crack growth resistance of the material is found. Therefore, the effects of various parameters are investigated on the crack growth velocity. It is shown that the reacceleration of crack growth appears when the crack tip approaches the end of specimen under fixed displacement loading. The predicted results are compared with those cited in the literature and a good agreement is observed. It is seen that shear deformation effects are more significant when the small values of a0/h is considered in the analysis.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the complete process of dynamic crack propagation in brittle materials under different loading rates. By using Improved Single Cleavage Semi-Circle (ISCSC) specimens and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar equipment, experiments were conducted, with the fracture phenomenon and crack propagation of tight sandstone investigated. Meanwhile, the process of crack propagation behaviour was simulated. Moreover, with the experimental–numerical method, the crack propagation dynamic stress intensity factor (DSIF) was also calculated. Then, the crack propagation toughness of tight sandstone under different loading rates was investigated and illustrated elaborately. Investigation results demonstrate that ISCSC specimens can achieve the crack arrest position unchanged, and the numerical simulation could effectively deduce the actual crack propagation, as their results were well matched. During crack propagation, the crack propagation DSIF in the whole process increases with the rising loading rate, and so does the crack propagation velocity. Several significant dynamic material parameters of tight sandstone are also given, for engineering reference.
