Catastrophic propagation of ductile cracks in metallic foils

Creator:

Elliott, Leonard Thomas

Abstract:

The sudden failure of metal structures under load, which has been a design problem for many years, is characterized by a crack propagation rate which approaches the speed of sound in the material. These failures, which are often known as catastrophic fractures, may be divided into two types which depend...
