The directional instability of moving cracks was studied within the context of the maximum dilatational energy density, or T-criterion. To make bifurcation predictions according to the T-criterion theory it suffices to consider only the singular stress field. In this paper the stress field for a non

The phenomenon of directional instability of running cracks is studied by means of a "twincrack" model. The running single crack tip is simulated by a cloud of microcracks under the form of hackles with random lengths and orientations, which, finally, are reduced into a flat front with two dominant
Some stainless steel pipe weldment materials are known to have inferior fracture properties. This paper focusses on the criterion for the instability of growth of a through-wall circumferential crack in a pipe weldment, with allowance being made for the fact that the weld material might have differe
