a Simulated \({v}_{i}\) in the nucleation area for given \({D}_{C}^{\prime}\) values and the anti-plane case. \({D}_{C}^{\prime}\) is normalized by 0.001 \(\Delta x\). b Plot of the same \({v}_{i}\) values versus the normalized fracture energy rate, \(\xi =K\mu {\sigma }_{p}{D}_{C}^{\prime}/{\sigma }_{0}^{2}\), from Eq. (5). The colors indicate different \({\sigma }_{p}\) values for a fixed initial value of \({\sigma }_{0}\) = 3 MPa
