Abstract
The process of high-rate fragmentation of materials is considered. On the basis of an energy approach the fracture mechanism is studied, and its motive forces are analyzed. it is shown that at currently feasibl e strain rates the material fails due to elastic energy. A criterion g overning the strain rate with which kinetic energy can be involved in the fracture process is proposed.
