Abstract

Problems of stress wave propagation and diffraction in elastic inhomogeneous media are undoubtedly of interest to scientists from the viewpoint of investigation of fundamental laws of dynamic processes and of the use of the results in technical and technological applications. The paper deals with the dynamic contact problem of shear plane wave diffraction at the edge of a semi-infinite crack in a compound space consisting of two elastic half-spaces. The questions related to the onset of surface waves and the wave field behavior in far-field regions are also considered.
