On the solution of steady-state elastodynamic crack problems by using complex variable methods

From MaRDI portal





Solutions in a closed-form, or in a series-expansion form, are given, concerning steady-state elastodynamic crack problems. The configuration of the problems treated consists either of an infinite body under plane extension, or a strip-like body under anti-plane shear. The loading mode consists of constant stresses, acting on the crack faces and moving with the velocity of the crack tip. In the domain of elliptic wave-equations, viz. for subsonic crack velocities, the solution of the problem is reduced to the solution of a Dirichlet problem, whereas in the case of hyperbolic wave-equations, viz. for transonic-crack velocities, a Riemann-Hilbert problem is formulated and solved.
