Abstract
The energy balance theory for the fracture propagation in brittle and quasi-brittle materials is discussed in a toroidal region around the crack periphery. A simple form requiring the dynamic solution valid only around the crack front and the knowledge of the fracture energy is presented. The results are applied to the fracture of an infinite medium containing a central through crack and subjected to anti-plane shear loads at infinity.
