Notes:
The mathematical formulation of the problem of transient wave interaction with a crack in a homogeneous, isotropic, linearly elastic solid has been reduced to the solution of an integral equation over the insonified crack face. The integral equation relates the unknown crack-opening displacement, which depends on time and position, to the incident wave field. The integral equation has been solved numerically by a time-stepping method in conjunction with a boundary element discretization of the crack surface. For normal incidence of a longitudinal step-stress wave on a penny-shaped crack, results as functions of time have been obtained for the crack-opening displacement, the elastodynamic Mode-I stress intensity factor and the scattered far-field.
