Abstract

Large scale fracture mechanics has proven very useful in the analysis of fracture in uniform materials. However, there exist several classes of fracture (such as stress-corrosion cracking1, intergranular fracture2, and fracture of polymeric materials3,4) which appear unvaried and behave homogeneously on the macroscopic scale, but which have drastically different fracture properties on the microscopic scale. Theoretical studies, though initially focused on large scale homogeneous materials, now cover the full range of scale from finite elemental analysis of large structural members5 to atomistic scale models6. However, experimental techniques are still involved in the larger scale analysis. Traditional experimental fracture techniques are therefore unequipped to properly evaluate the dynamic fracture behavior of these materials without averaging out the variations.
