Transient response of a crack in an anisotropic strip (Q579040): Difference between revisions

The problem of an anisotropic elastic strip containing a crack which is opened by stresses suddenly applied on the crack faces is considered here. The problem is reduced to a set of simultaneous Fredholm integral equations of the second kind which may be solved iteratively. Once the solutions of these integral equations are obtained, the dynamic stress intensity factors may be evaluated numerically. Numerical results are obtained for a particular transversely isotropic strip.
