Abstract

The direct problem of antiplane oscillations of a layer with delamination in the context of the gradient theory of elasticity is considered. The gradient model proposed by Aifantis is taken as a mathematical model. The main attention has been paid to the analysis of mechanical fields at the crack bank and at its tips - stress concentrators. The study is carried out using the method of boundary integral equations (BIE). The BIE for the gradient of displacement field on the crack is constructed. The analysis of the constructed BIE is carried out and the cubic singularity is explicitly revealed. The solution of singular BIE is constructed using approximating Chebyshev polynomials. A study for cracks of small relative length - asymptotic approach is carried out, simple semi-analytical expressions for constructing the crack swap function are obtained, the range of efficiency of the asymptotic approach is obtained. The stress fields in the area of the crack tips are constructed. Numerical results of computational experiments are presented.
