Abstract

By the theory of complex functions, a penny-shaped crack on axially symmetric propagating problems for composite materials was studied. The general representations of the analytical solutions with arbitrary index of self-similarity were presented for fracture elastodynamics problems on axially symmetry by the ways of self-similarity under the ladder-shaped loads. The problems dealt with can be transformed into Riemann-Hilbert problems and their closed analytical solutions are obtained rather simple by this method. After those analytical solutions are utilized by using the method of rotational superposition theorem in conjunction with that of Smirnov-Sobolev, the solutions of arbitrary complicated problems can be obtained.
