Abstract
We present a survey of works dealing with the stress intensity factors (SIF) for shallow edge cracks formed in elastic half planes subjected to the action of Hertzian loads moving along the boundaries of the planes. The numerical data on the SIF obtained by the method of singular integral equations are compared with the results of the other authors. The best agreement is observed with the results obtained by Keer and Bower by using the dislocation approach. The agreement with the results obtained by the finite-element method is satisfactory.
