Scattering of SH-waves by a Griffith crack in a long strip at asymmetric position (Q2576031)

Summary: The scattering of SH-waves by a Griffith crack in an infinitely long elastic strip situated at an asymmetric position has been analyzed. Applying Fourier transform, the mixed boundary value problem has been reduced to the solution of dual integral equations which finally has been reduced to the solution of a Fredholm integral equation of second kind. The numerical values of stress intensity factor, crack opening displacement, and scattered field outside the crack have been illustrated graphically to show the effect of asymmetry of the crack position.
