Generally, cracks that satisfy the energy condition run catastrophically. Three types of exceptions to this rule are described: ( 1) Stability occurs due to increasing rate of energy demand. (1) Stability of a lowet degree (neutral equilibrium) occurs when the energy reiease is independent of the cr

## Abstrac-Starting from a generalized dimensional analysis, a relationship has been derived between post limit load crack extension and the corresponding decrease in applied load during a fracture toughness test using the discrete form of the calibration curve differential. Crack extensions from
analysis of fracture toughness test data should provide dist~butional parameter estimates for the population of toughness predictions for use in integrity assessments. Standard statistical techniques are available which provide such information where the appropriate distributional form is normal but
An experimental technique for studying dynamic fracture toughness under stress wave loading is described in this paper. With a Bar Impact Testing Machine, the three point bending specimen was fractured under impact loading, the loading rate K, being approximately lo6 N/mm3'2. s. An accurate measurem
Ahstraet--A modified criterion is developed on an empirical basis for the minimum thickness Brain of a plane strain fracture toughness test specimen: B.,. = 400 g~o Ecq. where K~, is the plane strain fracture toughness, E is the Young's modulus and ~r~, is the yield stress of the material. The modi
