Abstract The paper deals with the stress analysis near a crack tip in an elastic layer resting on Winkler foundation. The edge crack is assumed to be normal to the lower boundary plane. The upper surface of the layer is loaded by given forces normal to the boundary. The considered problem is solved by using the method of Fourier transforms and dual integral equations, which are reduced to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. The stress intensity factor is given in the term of solution of the Fredholm integral equation and some numerical results are presented. Ó 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction The problems of stress distributions in an elastic layer (stratum) weakened by cracks are of significant interest in geology and geophysics as well as in engineering constructions. The elastic strata are frequently situated on substrates which can be treated as Winkler foundation. The knowledge of stresses permits to forecast fracture processes of the bodies. This paper is a continuation of our studies [1] concerning the problem of a ponderable elastic layer fixed to a rigid foundation and weakened by an edge crack normal to the boundary plane. The plane problem of stress distribution in an elastic layer resting on Winkler foundation is considered. The layer contains a Griffith edge crack normal to the lower boundary plane and is loaded by normal forces acting on the upper boundary surface of the body. The considerations are restricted to the case of symmetric distribution of boundary loads with respect to the extension of crack line. The problem is solved by using the Fourier transform method, dual integral equations [2], and Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. The stress intensity factor (SIF) is expressed in terms of the solution of the derived Fredholm integral equation.

The numerical results for the SIF are presented for the concentrated loading acting with a constant intensity on the upper boundary. The considered crack problem is of interest in geophysical and rock mechanics as well as plate–subsoil interactions. The analysis of stresses in layers with crack have received wide attention (see, for example, monographs [3–6]).

2. Formulation of problem Consider the plane static problem of elastic layer resting on a Winkler foundation. The layer is weakened by an edge crack normal to the boundary (see Fig. 1). Let the problem be related to a Cartesian coordinate system ðx; yÞ such that the lower boundary of layer is situated along the axis 0x and the crack is placed along the axis 0y (Fig. 1). Let h denote the thickness of layer and a be the length of crack. Let k, l be the Lame constants of elastic layer and k be the Winkler stiffness of foundation. The upper plane of layer is loaded symmetrically with respect to the axis 0y. Let ðuðx; yÞ; vðx; yÞÞ denote the displacement vector and rxx ðx; yÞ, ryy ðx; yÞ, rxy ðx; yÞ denote the components of stress tensor at the point ðx; yÞ. The considered problem is described by equations of the plane theory of elasticity and the following boundary conditions: rxy ðx; 0Þ ¼ 0;

Functions f1 ðÞ; . . . ; f4 ðÞ are given in Appendix A. 4. Numerical results The obtained integral Fredholm equation (3.13) will be solved numerically. From the standpoint of the linear fracture mechanics the behavior of stresses near the crack tip is of special interest. By using (2.8), (2.9), (3.7) and (3.10) it follows that rffiffiffi 2 ygðaÞ pffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi þ 0ð1Þ: rxx ð0; yÞ ¼  ð4:1Þ p a y 2  a2 The SIF KI KI ¼ limþ y!a

ð4:3Þ

To determine the SIF KI and finding the solution of the Fredholm integral equation we assume that the function pðÞ is given for example in the form ð4:4Þ

pðxÞ ¼ p0 dðxÞ;

where dðÞ is the Dirac function and p0 is given constant point load. For the use of numerical calculations the following nondimensional variables and parameters are introduced: t s¼ ; a

The Fredholm integral equation (3.13) with the kernel and the right-hand side described by (3.14) should rewritten in the nondimensional form (the details will be omitted). The obtained numerical results are

5. Conclusion The obtained numerical results presented in Figs. 2 and 3 show that: (1) The nondimensional SIF KI is considerably increasing with an increase of nondimensional crack length, defined by parameter k1 and given by Eq. (4.5). (2) The SIF KI is decreasing with an increase of the dimensionless stiffness coefficient h of Winkler foundation. (3) The SIF KI defined by (4.2) can be calculated from the results presented in Figs. 2 and 3 for some geological structures (stratum) weakened by edge cracks normal to boundary planes.
