Abstract
In the present paper, we consider the strain analysis near the crack parallel to boundary surfaces of a linear isotropic elastic layer of constant thickness. We pose the problem of minimizing the opening of crack faces when a normal force is applied to the boundary of the layer. The control secondary loading is a normal stress uniformly distributed over the boundary surfaces as to oppose the opening caused by the external applied force. We show that the most dangerous are tangential deformations, and the normal ones are always by many times less dangerous.
