Physics:Characteristic energy length scale
From HandWiki
The characteristic energy length scale [math]\displaystyle{ \chi }[/math] describes the size of the region from which energy flows to a rapidly moving crack. If material properties change within the characteristic energy length scale, local wave speeds can dominate crack dynamics. This can lead to supersonic fracture.
