We studied the stress concentration in the neighborhood of the vertices of the internal crack located on the bisector of an infinite elastic wedge. Normal forces are applied to the edges of the crack. The edges of the wedge are supported by a thin flexible covering, free from stresses from the outside. The effect of the coating on the stress-strain state of the wedge is modeled by a special boundary condition. The correctness of which is confirmed by numerical simulations. The integral Mellin transform made it possible to reduce the problem to the solution of a singular integral equation of the first kind with a Cauchy kernel with respect to the derivative of the crack opening function. Solutions of the integral equation are constructed by the collocation method for various combinations of geometric and physical parameters of the problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
