The stress distribution, subject to a constant pressure over the entire surface of a penny-shaped crack is discussed by Sneddon(4). Recently, Robertson (3) has considered the diffraction of a plane longitudinal wave by a penny-shaped crack on a semi-infinite elastic solid. In the present analysis, the propagation of longitudinal wave in an infinite isotropic elastic plate with a penny-shaped crack in the middle has been investigated. The plane longitudinal wave is moving in the positive direction of z-azis and is impinging on the surface of the penny-shaped crack. The dual integral equation technique of Noble(l) is utilized to solve the mixed boundary-value problem. The analysis closely follows the method used in the author's previous paper (2). The vertical displacement is analysed numerically.

The results obtained on the problem of the interaction between a large crack and an array of microcracks or other microdefects are reviewed. The following problems are considered: interaction of main crack with microcracks in the two-dimensional case at tensile, shear or combined stress state; a closure of macro or microcracks as a result of their interaction, and the influence of this phenomenon on the stress intensity factor; the thermal cracking of an elastic solid caused by the macro-microcracks interaction and cracks closure; the interaction of a crack with an array of small pores or rigid inclusions; three-dimensional problems of the interaction of a penny-shaped crack with small penny-shaped microcracks. Discussed analytical results are based on the asymptotic analysis and the series solution to systems of singular integral equations describing the interaction of the macrocrack and microdefects. The series solutions were obtained with respect to the small parameter representing the ratio of micro- to macrocrack sizes. Throughout the review, the known solutions on the crack interaction are surveyed. The comparison with solutions to other relevant problems such as an interaction of semi-infinite crack with an array of finite cracks is given. The impact of a close crack location, and a comparison with relevant results of the continuum model approach are discussed. This review article includes 332 references.

ABSTRACTThe thermal stress for a penny-shaped crack contained in an infinite isotropic elastic solid initially subjected to an axisymmetrical tension of any amount at infinity is investigated using the techniques of Hankel transforms and multiplying factors. The effect that the lateral normal stress has on the thermal stresses is studied on the basis of the theory of small deformations superposed on finite deformation. Symmetrical thermal loadings are applied over the crack surfaces. For the case of constant temperature over the crack surfaces, expressions for the crack shape and thermal stresses in the crack plane are obtained in closed forms. The stress intensity factor is also obtained and shown to be dependent on the lateral stress.
