Abstract
A new model of the shear fracture mechanism is presented and its interpretational possibilities for both the microscopic and macroscopic fracture are discussed. Examples of the application of the model to different cases of fracture, providing us with fresh insight into them, are given. Moreover, the model is demonstrated to be useful for practical technical purposes such as the control or elimination of fracture. In particular, the principles of fracture control producing a fracture surface of different shape and smoothness are discussed. The model's parameters by means of which fracture can be controlled are defined.
