Non steady-state intersonic cracks in elastomer membranes under large static strain

Dynamic crack propagation in elastomer membranes is investigated; the focus is laid on cracks reaching the speed of shear waves in the material. The specific experimental setup developed to measure crack speed is presented in details. The protocol consists in (1) stretching an elastomer membrane und...
