Abstract
The effects of heat generation by the plastic deformations occurring at the tip of a running crack in quasi-brittle materials is considered. The changes in the surrounding elastic stress field are examined for the case of a semi-infinite, constant velocity crack. It is found that the stresses immediately preceding the propagating crack are reduced in intensity as a natural consequence of a material's irreversibility and that the magnitude of this reduction increases with increasing crack velocity.
