Since the tensile fracture is governed by the load rate, the unstable crack fracture must be observed under the condition in which the load rate is smaller than crack speed. In this paper, the time-dependent stress caused by the compression wave emanated from the rupture section of a notched round bar is observed by the strain gauge method, while the problem of the same condition is theoretically analysed by postulating the crack growth models. The crack speed is determined from a comparison of the experimental result with theoretical result. Furthermore, the present paper experimentally distinguishes the effect of various factors, load rate and stress intensity factor, strain hardening, and area contraction of the material on the crack speed in tensile fracture, and suggests the experimental condition in observing the unstable crack fracture by the tensile test.
