heal.abstract The variation of the elastic modulus due to the dynamic propagation of a crack and its influence on the instability of this dynamic process was studied, based on the theory of the T-criterion of failure of the material. Conditions for an eventual bifurcation of the moving crack were established according to this criterion. Furthermore, a comparison was undertaken between the results derived from the T-criterion and an improving modification of the S-criterion, called S2-criterion, which was based on the two-term expressions of the elastic stress field around the crack. While in the T-criterion the dilatational strain energy density, Tv, was calculated on the respective Mises elastic plastic boundary where the distortional component of strain energy density was constant, in the S2-criterion the core region was defined by the respective initial curve of the dynamic caustic. It was shown that the changes of the dynamic modulus and Poisson's ratio, depending on the relative crack velocity, were the main factors creating these instability- and bifurcation-phenomena of the moving cracks. Nomograms of the critical relative velocities of bifurcation versus the dynamic modulus and Poisson's ratio were plotted and compared satisfactorily with experimental data. It was indicated that, while the T-criterion gave satisfactory results all over the range of velocities and moduli, the S2-criterion gave comparable results only for brittle or semi-brittle cases. © 1987 Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. en
