    Mode I crack propagation in an elastic layer is discussed, where the crack edge travels at sub-Rayleigh velocity with respect to the layer and supersonic velocity with respect to outer medium. The theoretical basis for expecting the plane stress Rayleigh wave velocity of the outer medium as an upper limit of the crack velocity in experiments is discussed.
