“…Due to the complexity of the equations of motion provided by the couple stress elastic theory with rotational inertia, only few crack propagation problems have been considered in the literature, most of them have been solved numerically and very few closed form solution have been worked out. In particular, Parhi & Das (1970) used the couple stress theory to investigate the stress distribution in a half-plane due to a moving line load on the surface. They assumed that the load is moving slower than both the longitudinal and transverse wave speeds of the elastic media (subsonic case) and found that the couple stress effect depends on the speed of the moving load, the couple-stress parameter, and the Poisson's ratio.…”

This paper is concerned with the problem of a semi-infinite crack steadily propagating in an elastic solidwith microstructures subject to antiplane loading applied on the crack surfaces. The loading is movingwith the same constant velocity as that of the crack tip. We assume subsonic regime, that is the crackvelocity is smaller than the shear wave velocity. The material behaviour is described by the indeterminatetheory of couple stress elasticity developed by Koiter. This constitutive model includes the characteristiclengths in bending and torsion and thus it is able to account for the underlying microstructure of thematerial as well as for the strong size effects arising at small scales and observed when the representativescale of the deformation field becomes comparable with the length scale of the microstructure, such asthe grain size in a polycrystalline or granular aggregate.The present analysis confirms and extends earlier results on the static case by including the effectsof crack velocity and rotational inertia. By adopting the criterion of maximum total shear stress, wediscuss the effects of microstructural parameters on the stability of crack propagation
