Abstract

Four crack problems are considered in classical two-dimensional elastostatics. Each problem is equivalent to a mixed boundary-value problem for a quarter-plane. A governing functional relation of the Wiener–Hopf type is obtained for each problem by the application of various Mellin transforms. It is shown that values for the stress intensity factor, and the crack energy, in corresponding ‘interior’ arid ‘exterior’ problems are identical for certain distributions of crack pressure.
