Experimental results indicate that propagation paths of cracks in geomaterials are often irregular, producing rough fracture surfaces which are fractal. In this paper, crack tip motion along a fractal crack trace is discussed. A fractal kinking model of the crack extension path is established to describe irregular crack growth. The length, velocity and kinking effects of the fractal crack are analysed. A formula is derived to describe the effects of fractal crack propagation on the dynamic stress intensity factor and on crack velocity. Finally, expressions of stress and displacement fields near the fractal crack tip are given.
