Abstract
A linear stability analysis of the steady state solutions to a model for propagating cracks implies dynamic instability beyond a critical crack speed, oscillatory behavior of the crack tip velocity, and the emergence of spatial structure. The results are in qualitative agreement with experiment.Keywords
