Abstract
It is proposed that the classical integral equation of a planar crack under normal loading in three-dimensional isotropic elasticity is solved after an integration with respect to the Laplace operator. Then this equation coincides with the fundamental equation of contact problems for an isotropic elastic half-space. The problem of an elliptical crack under a constant normal loading is solved by the present approach.
