Notes:
This paper investigates the transient wave scattering by a crack by means of the Boundary Integral Equation Method (BIEM). The author has developed a new formulation to solve the BIE for the Crack Opening Displacement (COD). The resolution is done directly in the time domain. The solution is represented by means of a retarded double layer potential, and the resulting BIE, with the COD as unknown, has a hypersingular kernel. The corresponding difficulty is overcome by using a variational method. We present the application of this method to an antiplane crack, describe the approximate problem and finally give some numerical results.
