Summary

This paper examines some antiplane crack problems in an elastic material with variable shear modulus. An expression for the energy release rate is obtained for each of the cracks considered and a comparison made with the energy release rate for the corresponding crack in a homogeneous material.

Zusammenfassung

Diese Arbeit behandelt einige antiplane Rißprobleme, in einem elastische Material, mit veränderlichem Schubmodul. Für jeden betrachteten Riß wird ein Ausdruck für die Energiefreisetzungsgeschwindigkeit erhalten und ein Vergleich mit der Energiefreisetzungsgeschwindigkeit für den entsprechenden Riß in einem homogene Material angegeben.
