Abstract
Much of the development of a statistical energy-based theory of fragmentation of stretching ductile metals has been restricted to one-dimensional geometries such as expanding rings or, at best, a uniformly expanding cylinder where the theory is intended to describe the average and statistical spacing of axial fractures. In this chapter an analysis will be extended to describe the breakup of a biaxial expanding shell or membrane of ductile metal in which stretching rates in mutually orthogonal directions are each nonzero and are, in general, different. A specific case of interest, of course, is that of a stretching spherical shell segment in which the orthogonal stretching rates are the same.
