✦ Synopsis

The application of a dynamic, generation mode, finite element program to the analysis of ex~~mental geometries is reported. Particular attention is given to the DCB specimen, which is widely used in high speed fracture studies despite strong inertia effects, which are described. Finite strip and infinite plate results are also considered. Here, ideal&d cases are discussed, while in Part II the application of the analysis to experimental measurements, to derive propagating crack fracture resistance data, is reported.
