A state-of-the-art review of recent and on-going analytical and numerical research on dynamic crack branching in brittle solids is presented. First, fundamental experimental evidence concerning the physics of the branching mechanism is reviewed. Next, elastostatic work dealing with crack branching u
This paper is devoted to the simulation of dynamic brittle crack propagation in an isotropic medium. It focuses on cases where the crack deviates from a straight-line trajectory and goes through stop-and-restart stages. Our argument is that standard methods such as element deletion or remeshing, alt
