In this study, centrally cracked sheet specimens made from polybutadiene rubber embedded with hard particles were used in crack propagation tests. The precracked specimens were tested at two constant crosshead speeds, 0.58 mm/min and 50.8 mm/min, at room temperature. The effect of crosshead speed on the local fracture and the crack behaviors were investigated and the results are discussed.
