The experimental verification of the cleaving wave which could form the theoretical basis for the correlation between fracture toughness and stress wave propagation characteristics is briefly considered. The stress waves generated in an unflawed material subject to a static stress level in which a crack of a certain length and width is formed spontaneously are analyzed. Crack nucleation and propagation are found to produce a wave which tends to cleave the surrounding material along a plane. This wave can interact with other weak points in the surrounding material and induce additional crack nucleations. Hence, the generation and propagation characteristics of this wave can significantly influence the fracture strength. An oscilloscope record of transient strain in a plate having a notch subject to impact load suggests the presence of a cleaving wave.
