Abstract

Wedging of an isotropic linear viscoelastic space with crack by a rigid semi-infinite indentor is studied. The wedge is assumed to have growing with time thickness. An analysis is done in the framework of generalised Dugdale model and COD criterion using Volterra's principle. The results for safe wedge growth law as well as for the crack growth are obtained.
