Abstract

The asymptotic fields in an elastic anisotropic composite wedge are considered for a wide range of boundary conditions. It is shown that the eigenfunctions for the near-field and far-field are dual as they are generated by the same set of eigenvalues in general. If the boundary conditions on the wedge faces are the same, an additional eigenfunction may appear in the far-field. Moreover the dual eigenfunctions are used to derive path-independent integrals that relate the near-field to the far-field.
