This research project is for a study of the dynamic fracture of solids          under conditions of general in-plane loading.  The aim is to better             understand the mechanics of crack initiation, crack path evolution, and         crack growth under mixed mode dynamic loading.  Experiments will be             performed on Homelite 100, a brittle polyester that has been well               characterized in terms of mechanical behavior, particularly dynamic             fracture under opening mode loading.  The dynamic fracture events will          be monitored using a high speed framing camera in a shadowgraph                 arrangement to determine the stress intensity factor as well as the             history of crack extension.
