Abstract
Numerical results are presented for a cracked elastic half-space surface-loaded by Hertzian contact stresses. A horizontal subsurface crack and a surface breaking vertical crack are contained within the half-space. An attempt to correlate crack geometry to fracture is made and possible mechanisms for crack propagation are introduced
