Abstract
The loading and unloading of a Plexiglas plate by a running fracture is investigated by means of a series of high-frequency cinematographic pictures of the shadows originating around drilled holes. Near the fracture tip, -the stress distribution differs only slightly from that around a corresponding static crack. After the fracture tip, however, there are great deviations owing to the dynamic unloading of the plate. The velocity of the unloading process is considerably lower than the velocity of the transversal waves in the plate.
