Abstract The method of caustics in combination with a Cranz–Schardin high-speed camera was utilized to study dynamic crack propagation and unloading behavior of epoxy, PMMA and Homalite-100 specimens. Dynamic stress intensity factor K ID and crack velocity $$\dot a$$ were evaluated in the course of crack propagation. Caustic patterns at the loading points were also recorded to estimate load P applied to the specimen. Unloading rate $$\dot P$$ , the time derivative of P, was determined as a function of time t, and its time correlation with K ID or $$\dot a$$ was examined. The findings showed that the change in $$\dot P$$ was qualitatively in accord with the change in K ID or $$\dot a$$ . However, there existed slight differences among the values of t giving the maximum $$\dot P$$ , $$\dot a$$ and K ID, so that their order was $$\dot a$$ , $$\dot P$$ and K ID.
