Abstract
An inherently rate dependent material model is used to model the nucleation and growth of voids in metals, leading to spall fracture. Intrinsic material rate dependence introduces a third time scale in addition to those introduced by rates of nucleation and growth. Material rate dependence does increase the spall strength of metals, but it is not nearly as important as local inertia in doing so.
