MODELLING OF CONCRETE FRACTURE UNDER DYNAMIC TENSILE LOADING. FRACTURE OF CONCRETE AND ROCK: RECENT DEVELOPMENTS. PAPERS PRESENTED AT THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE, UNIVERSITY OF WALES, COLLEGE OF CARDIFF, SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING, SEPTEMBER 20-22, 1989

The extension of penny shaped cracks in a linear elastic material has been modelled for various loading rates. The terminal velocity of extension appears to decrease for increasing loading rates. Application of the model on the failure process in concrete leads to a good description of the rate dependency of the tensile strength for loading rates up to 1000 GPa/s.(A) For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 829348.
