Heat generated during dynamic crack propagation in viscoelastic solids was investigated by visible liquid crystal film technique to observe the thermal boundary front emanating from a running crack tip. The crack propagation velocity was also measured by the velocity gauge method. The heat so estimated is correlated with the crack propagation velocity.
