Abstract:
A model is proposed to determine the dynamic cracking resistance KID of metals and alloys for the case of a rapidly moving fractal or self-affine crack. The values of this characteristic correlate with the fractal dimension Df of the future contour of a crack surface profile. KID is lower or higher than KIC depending on the fractal dimension.
