“…It should be mentioned that in the third problem, for the sake of clarity and avoid any confusion, we chose not to consider surface stresses (in the Gibbsean sense) on the crack faces. As mentioned earlier, such developments have been considered by others (Feng et al, 2008;Antipov and Schiavone, 2011;Kim et al, 2011;Nan and Wang, 2012;Koguchi and Suzuki, 2014;Wang et al, 2015;Sigaeva and Schiavone, 2016). Surface stresses for free surfaces of the crack faces may be on the same order of magnitude as the interface stresses outside of the crack segment but their constitutive relationships differ from the ones introduced in Eqs.…”
