Consider an infinite elastic solid containing a penny-shaped crack. We suppose that time-harmonic elastic waves are incident on the crack and are required to determine the scattered displacement field u i . In this paper, we describe a new method for solving the corresponding linear boundary-value problem for u i , which we denote by S. We begin by defining an ‘elastic double layer’; we prove that any solution of S can be represented by an elastic double layer whose ‘density’ satisfies certain conditions. We then introduce various Green functions and define a new crack Green function, G ij , that is discontinuous across the crack. Next, we use G ij to derive a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind for the discontinuity in u i across the crack. We prove that this equation always has a unique solution. Hence, we are able to prove that the original boundary-value problem S always possesses a unique solution, and that this solution has an integral representation as an elastic double layer whose density solves an integral equation of the second kind.

The scattering by a horizontal subsurface penny-shaped crack subjected to axially symmetric loading is investigated. The formulation begins with deriving the response of a time harmonic point force in rectangular coordinates. Then, the integral representation and integral equations are converted into polar coordinates by applying the condition of axial symmetry. The results contain crack opening displacement (COD), stress intensity factors, scattered pattern and the frequency spectrum of the Rayleigh wave and the back-scattered longitudinal wave. Resonance phenomenon is compared with the plane strain case solved in an earlier paper.
