The equations of motion of cleavage fracture are solved and discussed for constant force, constant moment, and constant deflection. Also crack propagation in a plate is discussed. The differential equations are derived from the law of angular momentum conservation of the split parts. An energy balance, which includes the kinetic energy of the moving crack is incorporated into the law of angular momentum conservation. The static case of crack stability is a particular solution of the general propagation equation.
