Stress state of a transversely isotropic medium with a parabolic crack when linearly changing pressure is applied to its surface (Q1921722)

An elastic problem is reduced to a boundary value problem for functions harmonic in the spatial domain \(\mathbb{R}^3\backslash D\), where \(D\) is the part of the plane \(z=0\) satisfying the inequality \(y^2(b^2-a^2)^{-1}+2x\geq b^2\) \((b>a>0)\). Using the paraboloidal coordinate system, the authors construct a solution of the problem in analytic form. The stress intensity factor is calculated.
