Abstract: | The dependence of the dynamic plane-strain fracture toughness,K
Id, on temperature and crack velocity was measured for propagating cracks in 1020 steel. The dynamics of crack propagation in
double-cantilevered specimens was recorded using electroresistivity techniques. The fracture surface energy was found by comparing
the crack propagation to solutions of crack motion in wedged-open cantilevered specimens. TheKId behavior was investigated over a range of temperatures from —196° to —50°C and crack velocities of 3 × 10-3 to 5 × 10-2 of √E/p. The rate and temperature dependence ofK
Id over the range ofT and υc investigated is well described by:1/K

2= υ0 are experimental constants. A dynamic value ofK
Id was 70 pct ofK
Ic at the same temperature, although in the temperature and crack velocity range investigated the specific fracture surface
energy varies by a factor of 6. The temperatureT

2 = 0 is similar to Charpy impact transition temperature values whenυ
c = 3 × 10-3√.E/p. If the plane-strain stress condition could be maintained, thenT
T would define a brittle-ductile transition temperature for dynamic plane-strain fracture toughness. The constantsA andB are interpreted by understanding the plastic energy dissipated by a moving crack.
