The question of the domain of dominance of mode I asymptotic elastodynamic crack-tip fields is investigated experimentally for the cases of dynamically loaded stationary cracks as well as dynamically propagating cracks. The experiments reported are on three-point bend specimens loaded dynamically using a drop-weight tower. An optical configuration leading to a bifocal high-speed camera is proposed. This is used in conjunction with the method of caustics to obtain apparent dynamic stress intensity factor measurements simultaneously from two different regions around the crack tip. The results of this study indicate that three-dimensional and transient effects necessarily have to be taken into account in the interpretation of dynamic fracture experiments.

The fracture mechanics of plates and shells under membrane, bending, twisting, and shearing loads are reviewed, starting with the crack tip fields for plane stress, Kirchhoff, and Reissner theories. The energy release rate for each of these theories is calculated and is used to determine the relation between the Kirchhoff and Reissner theories for thin plates. For thicker plates, this relationship is explored using three-dimensional finite element analysis. The validity of the application of two-dimensional (plate theory) solutions to actual three-dimensional objects is analyzed and discussed. Crack tip fields in plates undergoing large deflection are analyzed using von Ka´rma´n theory. Solutions for cracked shells are discussed as well. A number of computational methods for determining stress intensity factors in plates and shells are discussed. Applications of these computational approaches to aircraft structures are examined. The relatively few experimental studies of fracture in plates under bending and twisting loads are also reviewed. There are 101 references cited in this article.
