Abstract (may include machine translation)
The propagation of a crack in an isotropic elastic medium is treated as a moving boundary problem. Linear stability analysis shows that for the stretched membrane with a central, initially circular hole all modes are stable. On the other hand all modes are unstable for a two-dimensional arrangement where the crack is induced by pressure in a central hole.
