The behavior of a long elastic strip with an edge crack resting on a liquid foundation is investigated. The faces of the crack are opened by an applied pressure loading. The deformation of the strip is considered within the framework of the linear theory of elasticity assuming plane-stress conditions. Fourier transform techniques are employed to obtain integral expressions for the stresses and displacements. The boundary-value problem is reduced to the solution of a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. For the particular case of linear pressure loading, the stress-intensity factor is calculated and its dependence is shown on the depth of the crack relative to the thickness of the strip. Application of the present results to the problem of flexure of floating ice strips is discussed.

Abstract Rigorous and approximate (variational) solutions are given for the semi-infinite elastic strip, traction-free along the long edges, when the short edge is subjected (a) to a quadratic shear displacement, zero normal stress, (b) to a cubic normal displacement, zero shear stress. The approximate method of self-equilibrating functions is extended.
