An elastic-viscoplastic constitutive mode was adopted to analyze asymptotically the tip field of a mode I quasi-statically propagating crack in rate-sensitive materials under plane stress condition. Under the assumption that the viscosity coefficient is a power law function of the rate of effective plastic strain, it was obtained through dimension match that the crack tip field possesses power law singularity. And the singularity exponent is uniquely determined by the power law exponent in the supposed viscosity coefficient. The elasticity, plasticity and viscosity of material at crack-tip only can be matched reasonably under linear-hardening condition. Variations of crack tip field characters according to each material parameter were discussed by means of numerical computation. The stress intensity is dominated by the material viscosity whereas the hardening coefficient has less significant influence on tip field. Furthermore, the solution can be transformed to the elastic-nonlinear-viscous one of Hui and Riedel if the limit case of zero hardening coefficient is considered.

The viscosity of material is considered at propagating crack-tip. Under the assumption that the artificial viscosity coefficient is in inverse proportion to the power law of the plastic strain rate, an elastic-viscoplastic asymptotic analysis is carried out for moving crack-tip fields in power-hardening materials under plane-strain condition. A continuous solution is obtained containing no discontinuities. The variations of the numerical solution are discussed for mode I crack according to each parameter. It is shown that stress and strain both possess exponential singularity. The elasticity, plasticity and viscosity of material at the crack-tip only can be matched reasonably under linear-hardening condition. The tip field contains no elastic unloading zone for mode I crack.

In Part I of this paper, the question of the extent of dominance of the mode I asymptotic elastodynamic crack-tip field (the KdI-field) was studied experimentally. Here, the results of two and three-dimensional elastodynamic finite element simulations of the drop-weight experiments are reported. The load records as obtained from the impact hammer and supports of the drop-weight loading device were used as boundary tractions in the numerical simulations. For the laboratory specimen studied, the results of the simulations indicate that the asymptotic elastodynamic field is not an adequate description of the actual fields prevailing over any sizeable region around the crack tip. This confirms the experimental results of Part I which showed that three-dimensional and transient effects necessarily have to be taken into account for valid interpretation of experimental results.

Under the assumption that the viscosity coefficient is in inverse proportion to the power law of the equivalent plastic strain rate. The friction touch effect between viscosity and crack-tip surfaces is considered, the asymptotic solution is established for elastic-viscoplastic field at the mixed-mode quasi static crack-tip under compression and shear. The numerical solution at crack-tip without stress and stain gap is obtained. The variation of numerical solution is discussed for the mixed-mode under compression and shear according to each parameter. Through numerical results and analysis for the mixed-mode crack-tip field under compressing and shear, it is whole plastic without elastic unloaded section, viscosity effect is an important factor when propagating crack-tip field.
