Exact solution of the plane problem for a composite plane with a cut across the boundary between two media (Q1314035)

An exact closed solution is obtained for the problem of stress concentration in a composite elastic plane near a straight cut orthogonal to the dividing line between two media and which cuts it in half. The solution is constructed using a scheme for the factorization of a special matrix coefficient of a Riemann problem. This Riemann problem is obtained by reducing the system of singular integral equations with a fixed singularity, which corresponds to the given problem of elasticity theory.
