A state-of-the-art review of recent and on-going analytical and numerical research on dynamic crack branching in brittle solids is presented. First, fundamental experimental evidence concerning the physics of the branching mechanism is reviewed. Next, elastostatic work dealing with crack branching u
In this study large scale microcracking ahead of the growing main crack in brittle solids was studied numerically. The random nucleation, orientation and size effects of discrete microcracks and resulting interactions are fully accounted for in a hybrid element model. The results obtained were compa
