This work investigates the phenomenon of mode I central crack propagating with a constant speed subjected to a concentrated load on the crack surfaces. This problem is not a self-similar problem. However, the method of self-similar potential (SSP) in conjunction with superposition can be successfully applied if the time delay and the origin shift are considered. After the complete solution is obtained, attention is stressed on the dynamic stress intensity factors (DSIFs). Analytical results indicate that the DSIF equals the static stress intensity factor if the crack-tip speed is very slow and equal to zero if the crack-tip velocity approaches the Rayleigh-wave speed. However, the dynamic effect becomes obvious only if the crack-tip speed is 0.4 times faster than the S-wave speed. Moreover, the combination of SSP method and the superposition scheme can be applied to the expanding uniformly distributed load acting on a portion of the crack surfaces.

In this paper, the three-dimensional dynamic problem for an infinite elastic medium weakened by a crack of infinite length and finite width is analyzed, while the crack surfaces are subjected to mode I transient linear tractions. The integral transform approach is applied to reduce the governing differential equations to a pair of coupled singular integral equations, whose solutions can be obtained with the typical iteration method. The analytical solution of the stress intensity factor when the first wave and the first scattered wave reach the investigated crack tip is obtained. Numerical results are presented for different values of the width-to-longitudinal distance ratio z/l. It is found that the stress intensity factor decreases with the arrival of the first scattered longitudinal wave and increases with the arrival of the first scattered Rayleigh wave and tends to be stable. The static value considering both the first scattered wave and the first wave is about 50% greater than that considering only the first wave, and then the effect of the reflected wave is remarkable and deserves further study.
