Definitions

Mathematical formulation of the elastodynamic contact problem for a cracked body. The contact interaction of the crack edges in 2-D under action of the normal incidence of a harmonic tension-compression P-waves. Method of solution is the boundary integral equation method (BIE) along with a special iterative algorithm. The dependence of the stress intensity factor on (SIF) the wave number of the incident wave.

Introduction

Let us consider the phenomena occurring near the right or left tip of the crack when a harmonic tension-compression P-wave interacts with a crack. When loaded, the body goes through three phases near the crack tip: (i) the initial undeformed state (Fig. 1a), (ii) the tensile phase, corresponding to the maximum crack opening (Fig. 1b), and (iii) the compressive phase, corresponding to the maximum crack closure (Fig. 1c). Phase (iii) begins a half-period...
