Show affiliationsThe subject of dynamic fragmentation of materials has been of significant interest both from a fundamental point of view and in technological applications. In this review, we summarize the highlights of the theories and models developed to capture these phenomena and discuss some critical experimental observations that provide the underpinnings for such theories.
