Unstable crack growth under quasi-static loading condition is studied both experimentally and numerically in this work. Image analysis is applied to the experimental study. Stress field around the propagating crack tip is visualized by means of photo-elastic technique, and images of the unstable crack growth and the visualized stress field around the propagating crack-tip are captured by the ultra-high-speed camera with the frame rate of 1000000fps. Images are successfully captured at every 0.3mm crack growth. Next, the numerical simulation technique to simulate the unstable crack growth without the rearrangment of nodes and elements is proposed. In the proposed technique, X-FEM is extended to include the dynamic phenomena. The result of the simulation is directly compared with the experimental observation. As a result of comparison, numerically simulated fringe patterns have a good agreenment with the experimentally observed ones, and hence, it is shown that the proposed algorithm has a sufficient accuracy.
