Abstract

The paper develops a universal method for SH-wave propagation in a multilayered medium with an arbitrary number of interface cracks. The method makes use of the transfer matrix and Fourier integral transform techniques to cast the mixed boundary value problem to a set of Cauchy singular integral equations of the first type which can be solved numerically. The paper calculates the dynamic stress intensity factors for some simple but typical examples.
