Abstract

A non-equilibrium description of the crack propagation in the framework of the material setting is applied to the straight-through crack in brittle materials. The velocity of the crack is determined in terms of the driving force by means of non-equilibrium jump relations at the crack front. Theoretical results are compared with experimental data for Homalite-100.
