review text: The motion of an edge crack extending non-uniformly in an elastic half- space under conditions of anti-plane shear is investigated, taking the first reflected stress wave into account. An expression for the stress intensity factor at the crack tip is obtained, and an energy-balance crack propagation criterion is used to find the equation of motion of the tip. On solving this equation numerically, it is found that crack arrest occurs before the second reflected wave reaches the tip.
