Abstract: | Bifurcation and trifurcation of a fast running crack under various biaxial loading conditions is investigated numerically. The solution procedure for the 2D model in the framework of linear elastodynamics employs a time-domain boundary element method and allows for arbitrary curvilinear crack propagation. Branching events are controlled by the criterion of a critical mode I stress intensity factor while the propagation direction and growth rate of each branch are determined from the criterion of maximum circumferential stress. Numerical results are compared with experimental findings and are discussed with respect to macroscopic and microscopic aspects of dynamic fracture. |
