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

“…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. The reason for this difference is due to braking effects during crack propagation, for example, unevenness in the faceting, tear ridges, microcracking, twin deformation and side ligaments, which are the elements that dominate the arresting toughness. …”
