The exact solution to the problem of diffraction of plane harmonic polarized shear waves by a half-plane crack extending under antiplane strain is constructed. The solution is employed to study the nature of the stress field associated with an extending crack in an elastic medium excited by stress waves.

Scattering of stress waves by a circular elastic cylinder embedded in an elastic medium is investigated. The axis of the scatterer is perpendicular to the propagation vector of the incident plane compressional stress pulse wave. Making use of modified Kirchhoff’s integral formulas developed for elastodynamics by Ko [1], wave-front stresses and displacements during the early stage of interaction are obtained for both interior and exterior fields, and for the scatterer-medium interface. The solutions are valid for the whole spectrum of material properties of the scatterer ranging from void to infinitely dense materials. It is found that Kirchhoff’s method of retarded potentials predicts singular wave-front response at caustics as does the geometrical acoustics. The basic integral equations presented are applicable to a scatterer of arbitrary shape and do not only give the wave-front solution, but also the solutions after the arrival of the wave front.

Distribution Of Stress

Stress waves propagate in soil in case of earthquake and man-made effects (traffic flow, buried explosions, shield-driven pipes and tunnels, etc.). The wave point-sources are those located at the distances equal to more than two waves lengths, which significantly simplifies solving of a problem of these waves’ strength evaluation. Distribution of stress and displacement by the stress waves propagation in elastic medium is a complex pattern. The stress distribution in propagating waves depends on the type and form of source, conditions of the source contact with medium, and properties of mediums in the vicinity of the source. The point-sources and their combinations are selected in such a way to model an influence of machines and processes on soil body in case of shield-driven pipes (tunnels).
