Abstract: This study proposes a criterion of dynamic fracture for materials with nonlinear behaviour and the calculation shows that the theoretical results are in agreement qualitatively with the experimental ones.

Keywords: cracks; crack arrest; crack propagation; dynamic fracture; nonlinear behaviour; crack opening displacement criterion; elasto-perfect-plastic materials.
