Abstract

Materials usually break into many pieces (fragments) under high strain-rate tension. Understanding the fragmentation properties of solids is important to the researchers in fields of physics, mechanics, aerospace and defense engineering. In this paper, we reviewed the researches on tensile fragmentation undertaken since 1940s. Recent advances in the fragmentation studies from theoretical analysis, experimental investigation, and numerical simulation are addressed. Some suggestions were provided for the future development in this field.
