THE AUTHORS of the above referenced paper have recently attempted to modify the strain energy density criterion as applied to predict the onset of rapid fracture [l]. A mean value of the strain energy density factor 3 obtained by averaging S around the crack tip from 0 = 0" to 360" was used to deter
