Abstract: We continue our study of the exact solutions for steady-state cracks in ideally brittle viscoelastic lattice models by focusing on mode I in a triangular system. The issues we address include the crack velocity versus driving curve as well as the onset of additional bond-breaking, signaling the emergence of complex spatio-temporal behavior. Somewhat surprisingly, the critical velocity for this transition becomes a decreasing function of the dissipation for sufficiently large values thereof. At the end, we briefly discuss the possible relevance of our findings for experiments on mode I crack instabilities.
