Encyclopedia > Supersonic fracture

Supersonic fractures are fractures faster than the speed of sound in a material. The issues of intersonic and supersonic fracture become the frontier of dynamic fracture mechanics. The work of burridge initiated the expolration for intersonic crack growth (when the crack tip velocity V is between the shear in wave speed C^8 and the longitudinal wave speed C^1. For fractures in geologic formations, see Rock fracture. ... Sound is a vibration that travels through an elastic medium as a wave. ...
