Abstract
We have performed an experimental study of slow crack front propagation through a weak plane of a transparent Plexiglas block. Spatial random toughness fluctuations along the weak interface generate a rough crack line in pinning locally the crack front, and leads to an intermittent dynamics of the crack front line. Using a high speed and high resolution camera we are able to capture the features of this complex dynamics.
