Abstract
The present analysis concerns the steady propagation of a crack of length 2a, parallel to a bond plane between two half-planes having different material properties. The crack speed is less than the transverse wave speed of the half-plane in which it is located, but the material properties of the uncracked material are such that the shear or dilatational wave speeds may be exceeded. A transition speed is seen to exist above which the uncracked medium tends to act as a stiffened material.
