In this paper, a methodology is presented for predicting crack growth rate along three-dimensional crack fronts under mode I dynamic loading conditions. Within the present methodology, for every point along the crack front the stress intensity factor matches the dynamic fracture toughness at the onset of propagation. In order to accurately evaluate the dynamic stress intensity factor the component separation method of the dynamic J integral is used. To overcome the difficulties in three-dimensional dynamic fracture simulations, the three-dimensional dynamic moving finite element method based on three-dimensional moving 20-noded isoparametric elements is used. In the absence of experimental measurements for dynamic fracture toughness, a new methodology to estimate the dynamic fracture toughness is proposed, i.e., a hybrid experimental-numerical approach, which makes use of numerically determined histories of the dynamic stress intensity factor. The values of the dynamic stress intensity factor are converted into dynamic fracture toughness based on the Weibull distribution. The predictive ability of the developed methodology is demonstrated through the prediction of the dynamic crack growth in Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) specimen of PMMA with different thickness.
