Abstract
A finite element model is used to compute the dynamic stress intensity factor (S.I.F.) during rapid crack propagation. It is shown that the inertial effects in a transient dynamic linear elastic analysis for an accelerating and decelerating crack can be responsible for the non un iqueness of the S.I.F, at a given crack speed.
