The investigation is concerned with some of the effects of embedded flaws in an elastic half space subjected to torsional deformations. Specifically two types of flaws are considered: (a) a penny-shaped rigid inclusion, and (b) a penny-shaped crack. In each case the problem is reduced to a system of Fredholm integral equations. Graphical displays of the numerical results are included.

The paper considers the elastic layer which is pressed against a half space by loads that are not necessarily symmetric about the center of the loaded region. It is shown that the receding contact between the two bodies can be treated by means of superposition, leading to two homogeneous Fredholm integral equations for auxiliary functions that are directly related to the contact tractions. The determination of the extent of contact and the shift between the load and contact intervals can be viewed as an eigenvalue problem of the homogeneous integral equations. Specific numerical results are given for two types of triangular loads, and a comparison is made with certain symmetric loads.

The diffraction of harmonic waves by a movable rigid strip bonded to the surface of an elastic half space is divided into two more fundamental problems, the diffraction of waves by a fixed strip and the forced motion of an inertialess strip. These problems are formulated in terms of a pair of coupled Fredholm integral equations of the first kind. An approximate solution for the resultant loads acting on the strip is obtained using the Bubnov-Galerkin method. These loads provide a simple means of studying the excited motion of a movable strip having a variety of inertia properties.

A torsional transient wave was assumed acting at infinity on the piezoelectric body with an embedded penny-shaped crack. Appropriate governing equations and boundary conditions have been built within the three-dimensional electroelasticity. The total displacement field was simply considered as the combination of two parts, one related to incident waves inducing an oscillating motion, and another with the scattered waves. An electric impermeable crack was assumed to simplify the mathematical analysis. The problem was formulated in terms of integral transforms techniques. Hankel transform were applied to obtain the dual integral equations, which were then expressed to Fredholm integral equations of the second kind.

A solution is given for the problem of the torsion of an elastic cylinder welded to an elastic half space. The problem was formulated so as to involve coupling between dual-integral equations and Dini series. These equations were reduced to a single integral equation. Numerical results are given and functions found that approximate the stress distribution.

The stress distribution produced by the identation of a penny-shaped crack by an oblate smooth spheroidal rigid inclusion in a transversely isotropic medium is investigated using the method of Hankel transforms. This three-part mixed boundary value problem is solved using the techniques of triple integral equations. The normal contact stress between the crack surface and the indenter is written as the product of the associated half-space contact stress and a nondimensional crack-effect correction function. An exact expression for the stress-intensity is obtained as the product of a dimensional quantity and a nondimensional function. The curves for these nondimensional functions are presented and used to determine the values of the normalized stress-intensity factor and the normalized maximum contact stress. The stress-intensity factor is shown to be dependent on the material constants and increasing with increasing indentation. The stress-intensity factor also increases if the radius of curvature of the indenter surface increases.

The present work aims to investigate a penny-shaped crack problem in the interior of a homogeneous elastic material under axisymmetric torsion by a circular rigid inclusion embedded in the elastic medium. With the use of the Hankel integral transformation method, the mixed boundary value problem is reduced to a system of dual integral equations. The latter is converted into a regular system of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind which is then solved by quadrature rule. Numerical results for the displacement, stress and stress intensity factor are presented graphically in some particular cases of the problem.
