Abstract

We consider in this chapter an isotropie homogeneous continuum in which there is a geometrie discontinuity at rest. The discontinuity is also said to be static or stationary, and is subjected to an increasing load applied rapidly. The case of the discontinuity in motion will be treated in the next chapter. However, some features of this late case are also addressed.
