Extract

Introduction. The distribution of stress produced in the interior of an infinite elastic solid when a constant pressure is applied over the entire surface of a penny-shaped crack has been solved by Sneddon(6), (7). The problem considered here is the closely allied one of a plane longitudinal wave, harmonic in time, moving in the positive direction of the z-axis and impinging on the surface of a penny-shaped crack. The analysis follows the methods adopted for dealing with an axisymmetrical vibrating punch acting on a semi-infinite elastic solid, Robertson (5).
