• Resumen

  • A mathematical model has been developed to investigate the SIF (stress intensity factor) and COD (crack opening displacement) for the propagation of mode-III fracture influenced by propagating SH-wave in a pre-stressed dry sandy elastic continuum. The Wiener-Hopf mathematical method along with the Fourier integral transform (FIT) technique have been successively implemented to obtain the solution of the boundary value problem associated with the mathematical model. Furthermore, the closed form solutions of SIF and COD for non-static and static conditions of mode-III fracture have been obtained, and are found to be in well agreement with the existing results present in the literature. The sound effects of various affecting parameters viz. horizontal and vertical (compressive/tensile) pre-stresses, crack depth, and crack velocity on SIF and COD have been explored. In order to delineate the influences of these aforementioned parameters on SIF and COD graphically, numerical simulation has been accomplished.
