Abstract Consider an infinite elastic solid containing a penny-shaped crack. A familiar problem in linear elastostatics is the determination of the displacement in the solid when the crack is subjected to an arbitrarily prescribed loading; denote the corresponding boundary-value problem by P. We construct the exact Green's function for P, using a method due to Guidera and Lardner [4]. We then use our Green's function to solve P, by obtaining expressions for the discontinuity in the displacement vector across the crack. Finally, we compare our solutions for P with those obtained recently by Krenk [6].
