Dynamic fracture of metals may be brittle or ductile depending on factors such as material properties, loading rate and specimen geometry. At high strain rates, a thermo plastic instability known as shear banding may occur, which typically precedes fracture.Experiments on notched plate impact show a ductile–brittle failure transition, where lower impact velocities lead to brittle behavior, while higher...
