Damage and dissipation mechanisms in the dynamic fracture of brittle materials: Velocity driven transition from nominally brittle to quasi-brittle

Damage and dissipation mechanisms in the dynamic fracture of brittle materials: Velocity driven transition from nominally brittle to quasi-brittle

We present the results of recent dynamic fracture experiments [Scheibert et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 104 (2010) 045501] on polymethylmethacrylate, the archetype of nominally brittle materials, over a wide range of crack velocities. By combining velocity measurements and finite element calculations o...
