โฆ Synopsis
A new approach is presented to determine the crack propagation increment after the direction of crack propagation has been predicted. The maximum dilatational strain energy density (NT-criterion) is employed in the derivation for predicting both direction and increment of the propagating crack. The crack propagation path predicted by the NT-criterion is compared to the one predicted by the S-criterion and to some available experimental data.

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
