A dynamic finite element code was used to compute the dynamic stress intensity factors and crack arrest stress intensity factors which are related to the crack run-arrest responses in longitudinal and transverse wedge-loaded compact specimens machined from A533B and 1018 steels, respectively. Measured crack velocities were used to prescribe crack motions in the longitudinal and transverse wedge-loaded compact specimens under fixed wedge displacements. The numerical analyses show that approximately 45 percent additional energy is input during the crack propagation phase in the former compact specimen while the rigid loading system in the latter results in essentially quasi-static crack extension.

A dynamic finite element code was used to compute the dynamic stress intensity factors and crack arrest stress intensity factor which are related to the crack run-arrest response in a tapered double cantilever beam (DCB) specimen machined from A533B steel. Measured crack velocities of a fracturing tapered DCB specimen were used to prescribe a crack motion under both fixed grip and variable loading conditions at the two loading pins. Numerically and experimentally determined dynamic strains were compared at three locations on the fracturing tapered DCB specimen. This comparative study showed that the fixed grip condition modeled the actual dynamic state well and that the crack arrest stress intensity factor, KIa, computed on the bases of fixed grip and variable loading conditions differed by a factor of approximately 0.6.
