SCATTERING OF SH-WAVES BY A GRIFFITH CRACK IN A LONG STRIP AT ASYMMETRIC POSITION S. GHOSH, S. MANNA, AND S. C. MANDAL Received 11 April 2005 The scattering of SH-waves by a Griffith crack in an infinitely long elastic strip situated at an asymmetric position has been analyzed. Applying Fourier transform, the mixed boundary value problem has been reduced to the solution of dual integral equations which finally has been reduced to the solution of a Fredholm integral equation of sec- ond kind. The numerical values of stress intensity factor, crack opening displacement, and scattered field outside the crack have been illustrated graphically to show the effect of asymmetry of the crack position. 1. Introduction Cracks or inclusions are present essentially in most of the structural materials, either as natural defects or as a result of fabrication processes. The diffraction of elastic waves be- comes more practical when boundaries are present in the medium. Great attention has been given to the study of diffraction of elastic waves by cracks situated at asymmetric po- sition . Loeber and Sih [5] and Mal [6] have studied the problem of diffraction of elastic waves by a Griffith crack in an infinite medium. The problem of finite crack at the inter- ¨ face of two elastic half-spaces has been discussed by Srivastava et al. [ 11] and Bostrom [2]. Finite crack perpendicular to the surface of the infinitely long elastic strip has been stud- ied by Chen [3] and by Srivastava et al. [10]. Shindo et al. [9] considered the problem of impact response of a finite crack in an orthotropic strip. Crack in inhomogeneous elastic strip has been analyzed by Sarkar et al. [8]. Matysiak and Pauk [7] studied edge crack in an elastic layer resting Winkler foundation. Recently, Birinci and Erdol [1] analyzed the problem of a layered composite containing a crack in its lower loaded-by-rigid s
