The Problem Solution on the Propagation of a Griffith Crack Based on the Equations of a Nonlinear Model

Abstract

On the basis of a nonlinear model of deformation of a crystalline medium with a complex lattice, the problem of the stationary propagation of a Griffith crack under the action of homogeneous expanding stresses is posed and solved. It is shown that the stressed and deformed states of the medium are determined both by external influences on the medium and by the gradients of the optical mode (mutual displacement of atoms). The contributions from these factors are separated. Finding the components of the stress tensor and macro-displacement vector is reduced to solving Riemann–Hilbert boundary value problems. Their exact analytical solutions are obtained.
