Abstract
A two-dimensional linear elastodynamic analysis of fast crack growth in the single edge notch specimen is presented. The influence of the initial crack length and the initial loading (bluntness) are pursued. The analysis is performed using the finite-difference SMF2D code in its generation mode. Once the crack tip motion is specified, using experimental data, the dynamic stress intensity factor, the dynamic energy release rate, and the energy distributions are evaluated throughout the various simulations. The numerical results are found to be in good agreement with known experimental findings.
