Abstract
ABSTRACTThe paper describes studies on the dynamic initiation and growth of sub‐interfacial cracks in a PMMA/aluminium bi‐material system using high‐speed photography combined with the method of caustics. Dynamic fracture phenomena such as crack propagation trajectories, crack velocity, phase angle and stress intensity factor were determined from recordings of a series of dynamic caustic patterns surrounding the propagating sub‐interfacial crack tip.. There is a considerable influence of the distance between the interface and the crack on fracture characterization.
