Abstract
Two-dimensional dynamic photoelasticity is employed to investigate the dynamic interaction of an explosively generated Rayleigh-pulse with a geophysical discontinuity in form of a step of elevation. Photoelastic fringe patterns show that the energy of the incident Rayleigh-wave is converted to a great extent into crack extension energy to initiate and propagate a crack from the re-entrant corner.
