8 San Andreas fault as an example of crack growth along a weak plane

9 Part I. Fracture Crack Growth V tip (~km/s) V impact (~10 m/s)

10 Modes of crack growth Mode-I I(Opening) Mode-II (Shear) Crack growth in homogeneous materials can only occur by Mode I In homogeneous materials, Mode II cracks will change direction such that crack tip locally becomes mode I. To grow Mode II cracks, we need a weak plane that will trap it and force it to grow an interface.

11 Stresses near a crack tip

13 Dynamic crack growth criterion d I d ( t ) = K I ( Q ( t ), a, v ) = K D ( v ) for t t f K > K D (v).
