TLDR
In this article, the authors considered the study of two-dimensional wave propagation in a half-space due to indentation by a rigid smooth indentor of a general shape at a non-uniform velocity and assumed that the indentor shape and displacement history can be represented by polynomial curves in a spatial variable and the time.

On the super-Rayleigh/subseismic elastodynamic indentation problem

TL;DR: The elastodynamic super-Rayleigh/subseismic indentation paradox is examined in this article, where the Craggs/Roberts steady-state problem and the Robinson/Thompson transient problem are reconsidered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stresses in a surface obstacle undercut due to rapid indentation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the semi-infinite crack as a short-time model for the case of indentation by a rigid smooth wedge and show that if fracture occurs at the terminus prior to the arrival of wave reflections, it may proceed at a noticeable angle to the undercut plane.

Dynamic analysis of non-symmetric problems for frictionless indentation and plane crack extension

TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional dynamic analysis of contact and stress loading problems associated with non-symmetric frictionless rigid indentation and plane crack extension under normal stress is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sliding and indentation by a rigid half-wedge with friction and displacement coupling effects

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered a rigid half-wedge which simultaneously translates tangentially and normally at constant speeds with respect to the surface of an elastic half-plane, and showed that the coupling effect may be small for low indentation speeds and relatively flat half-wedges.
Journal ArticleDOI

An integral equation approach to self-similar plane-elastodynamic crack problems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reduced the problem of an expanding crack under homogeneous polynomial-form loading to the solution of a Cauchy singular integral equation, and obtained the solution by using well-known numerical treatments available for Cauche SIEs.

Some dynamic problems of the theory of elasticity—a review

TL;DR: In this paper, a complete solution for one class of self-similar problems of dynamic theory of elasticity is given on the basis of functionally-invariant solution of the wave equation, suggested by Smirnov and Sobolev.

Transient Stresses in an Elastic Half Space Resulting from the Frictionless Indentation of a Rigid Wedge‐Shaped Die

TL;DR: In this paper, a solution for the title problem is obtained for the classical theory of elasticity, assuming that the half space is homogeneous and isotropic, and that the die indents at a constant rate.

The dynamic indentation of an elastic half-space

TL;DR: In this article, a method for finding the distribution of traction beneath a conical or a wedge-shaped indentor, moving into an elastic half-space, was given for the two extreme cases of perfect adhesion between indentor and half space, and perfectly lubricated indentors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-symmetric extension of a plane crack due to tensile pre-stress and dilatational waves

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered non-symmetric extension of an infinitesimal flaw into a plane crack at a constant rate due to a uniform tensile pre-stress and identical intersecting plane dilatational waves and found that the time lag between wave intersection and fracture and the time rate of change of propagating stresses have a marked effect on the stress intensity factors and rate of energy flux into the crack edges.
