Dynamic fracture is when the crack speed is more than about
30% of the Shear wave speed, cs

A small background
Dynamic Cracks by LEFM
Upper bound from LEFM is cR in Mode-I and cs in
Mode-III
Extended to include Transonic cracks in Mode-II -

Dynamic Cracks in elastomers
Rupture of ballons - Stevenson et al(1972),
membranes - Gent et al (1982), Lake (2000)
Experiments on latex Rubber - Petersan et al
(2004) establish Transonic Mode-I cracks
Further studies by Marder (2006), Chen et al
(2011) through lattice models
