โฆ Synopsis
The moving singularity of the crack tip in a plane-stress plate causes a highly dynamic stress field of varying intensity with time, throughout the period of the propagation of the crack. This dynamic stress field results in a considerable change of the mechanical and optical properties of a strain-rate dependent material. An analysis of this varying dynamic stress field was presented in this paper which contradicts assumptions and simpli~cations introduced in a previous paper , referring to the same problem. For the experimental determination of the &'-factor the optical method of the dynamic caustics was utilized in combination with a high-speed camera and a comparison was sketched between the possibilities of this method and the strain-gauge method used in Ref. .
