It is well-known that the parameters of dynamic fracture mechanics depend not only on dimensions, loading and boundary conditions but also on the dynamic crack propagation velocity. Because the measurement of dynamic crack propagation velocity measuring device which can easily be expanded without modification is proposed in this report. it was found that the experimentally determined dynamic crack propagation velocity agreed well with those from other investigations in some polymers such as PMMA. Homalite-100 and Epoxy.
