Sv. Kuznetsov, ON THE OPERATOR OF THE THEORY OF CRACKS, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie II. Mecanique, physique, chimie, astronomie, 323(7), 1996, pp. 427-432
A pseudodifferential operator (pdo) for the 3D equilibrium problem of
a crack in an anisotropic medium is constructed by the use of Fourier
transformation and regularization technique. Properties of the princip
le symbol and the pdo are investigated. An expression for the elastic
energy of crack opening is obtained. A numerical method based on the v
ariational approach for a plane crack in an anisotropic medium with ar
bitrary elastic anisotropy is proposed.
