Elastic forces that do no work and the dynamics of fast cracks
arXiv:cond-mat/9507068 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.76.2742
Abstract
Elastic singularities such as crack tips, when in motion through a medium that is itself vibrating, are subject to forces orthogonal to the direction of motion and thus impossible to determine by energy considerations alone. This fact is used to propose a universal scenario, in which three dimensionality is essential, for the dynamic instability of fast cracks in thin brittle materials.
