Brittle crack propagation acceleration in a single crystal of a 3% silicon-Fe alloy by Tomoya Kawabata, Noritaka Nakamura, Shuji Aihara

“…Due to the social importance of the problem, many experimental and theoretical studies have been conducted from both the mechanical and microstructural viewpoints. Though it has been reported that the upper limit of the speed of brittle crack propagation is theoretically the Rayleigh wave speed, which is approximately 2,900 m/s in steels, the actual speed of brittle crack propagation in steels is approximately 1,000 m/s and lower. …”
