Abstract
We now turn to the description of the crack behavior. From a macroscopic, continuum mechanical viewpoint, we consider a crack as a cut in a body. Its opposite boundaries are the crack surfaces which are also called crack faces or crack flanks (Fig. 4.1). In general they are traction-free. The crack ends at the crack front or crack tip.
