Abstract Fracture behaviors commonly found in hard plastics, glasses and metals with restricted plasticity are discussed relative to their force requirements. These are onset and arrest of rapid crack extension, the stable balance of crack speed against driving force of the running crack, the limiting crack speed and crack division. A method is given for calculating the stress-field driving forceG for closely and evenly spaced radial cracks. The Kerkhof ultrasonic-ripple-marking technique for determination of crack speed is discussed. These procedures are illustrated with experimental tests of crack division and crack arrest.
