I've been studying the crack branching and dynamic fracture of brittle materials, and I just noticed that most of the experiments are conducted using amorphous materials like PMMA.

is there anyone who can answer my question?

and does crack branching and dynamic fracture occur in single crystalline materials?

If it does, does the branching follow the crystallographic orientation of the matrix?

Thank you!
