✦ Synopsis

Results are presented of a microscopical investigation on the initiation and growth ot cracks in a ductile material under static load. Crack propagation appears to be primarily a slip mechanism. A similar conclusion can be drawn for fast fracture. The consequences of this conclusion for establishing a criterion for ductile fracture are briefly discussed.
