Description
Dynamic fracture in solids has attracted much attention for over a century from engineers as well as physicists due both to its technological
interest and to inherent scientific curiosity. Rapidly applied loads are encountered in a number of technical applications. In some cases
such loads might be applied deliberately, as for example in problems of blasting, mining, and comminution or fragmentation; in other
cases, such dynamic loads might arise from accidental conditions. Regardless of the origin of the rapid loading, it is necessary to understand
the mechanisms and mechanics of fracture under dynamic loading conditions in order to design suitable procedures for assessing the susceptibility
to fracture. Quite apart from its repercussions in the area of structural integrity, fundamental scientific curiosity has continued to
play a large role in engendering interest in dynamic fracture problems
Audience
