A Crack in the Form of a Three-Link Broken Line Under The Action of Longitudinal Shear Waves

Resumo

We solve the problem of determination of the dynamic stress intensity factors for a crack in the form of a three-link broken line. The crack is located in an infinite elastic medium with propagating harmonic longitudinal shear waves. The initial problem is reduced to a system of three singular integrodifferential equations with fixed singularities. A numerical method is proposed for the solution of this system with regard for the true asymptotics of the unknown functions.
