heal.abstract	Crack and fracture damage development in paraboloidal-ended cylindrical rods of Perspex due to stress waves initiated by explosive point loading at the flat end of a rod with a detonator is discussed and the controlling mechanisms are considered. The explosive loading took place in using the surrounding media of atmospheric air and salina (salt water). An attempt has been made to explain the form and the location of the terminal internal and surface fractures, and the spalls in terms of stress optics and of the energy distribution of the incident waves when reflected from the interfacial boundary or refracted into the surrounding medium. © 1987.	en
