✦ Synopsis

Elaborating upon the use of the spherical or cylindrical flaw as a modal for fracture, the kinetic contribution for a uniformly loaded, incompressible elastic materiM has been extended to include linear viscoelasticity. For the special case of a constant displacement rate far from the inclusion, the initial flaw velocity at instability is zero instead of infinite as predicted without kinetic energy considerations.

Tensile stress relaxation and stable crack growth under fixed tensile deformation over an extended range of crack speeds were measured on a flexible thermosetting epoxy resin. The experimental results are analysed and compared with the predictions of two theoretical models of fiacture kinetics in vi
