There are lots of practical problems which are related to the solution of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. The present work proposes intervallic Coiflets for solving the equations. Illustrative problem involving dynamic stress and electric fields of a cracked piezoelectric excited by anti-plane shear wave is addressed. Permeable boundary condition has been used to obtain a pair of dual integral equations of the symmetric and antisymmetric parts which can be reduced to the solutions of two Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. The dynamic stress intensity factor is expressed in terms of the right-end values of two unknown functions in Fredholm integral equations. The two unknown functions are solved by intervallic Coiflets which have less the endpoints error. And intervallic Coiflets have low calculation cost and high accuracy due to the wavelet expansion coefficients are exactly obtained without calculating the wavelet integrations. The calculation results agree well with the existing method, which show the high accuracy of the estimation and demonstrate validity and applicability of the method.

The dynamic stress intensity factor for a stationary semi-infinite crack due to the motion of a screw dislocation is obtained analytically. The dislocation position, orientation, and speed are largely arbitrary. However, a dislocation traveling toward the crack surface is assumed to arrest upon arrival. It is found that discontinuities in speed and a nonsmooth path may cause discontinuities in the intensity factor and that dislocation arrest at any point causes the intensity factor to instantaneously assume a static value. Morever, explicit dependence on speed and orientation vanish when the dislocation moves directly toward or away from the crack edge. The results are applied to antiplane shear wave diffraction at the crack edge. For an incident step-stress plane wave, a stationary dislocation near the crack tip can either accelerate or delay attainment of a critical level of stress intensity, depending on the relative orientation of the crack, the dislocation, and the plane wave. However, if the incident wave also triggers dislocation motion, then the delaying effect is diminished and the acceleration is accentuated.
