Abstract
Transient phenomena of reflection and diffraction of explosively-generated plane and cylindrical elastic waves at the tips of a finite crack buried at some depth below a free surface are investigated. Dynamic photoelasticity has been used as a means for visualizing the highly complex interaction process between stress waves and cracks. Primary and secondary diffraction are studied and sequences of isochromatic fringe patterns and their associated wave front reconstruction patterns are presented. Fracture mechanics aspects of dynamic crack initiation under stress wave loading are discussed.
