Abstract

A semi-infinite plane crack is at rest in an unbounded, transversely isotropic, thermoelastic solid. A finite region on each crack face is subjected to compression and shear stresses of constant magnitude $(p_{3}, s_{1}, s_{2})$ , and translates with constant speed at right angles to the initial crack edge. The speed is rapid, but subcritical. Fracture occurs, accompanied by thermal convection on the crack faces. A dynamic steady state ensues, so that the crack edge is no longer rectilinear, but growth rate and translation speeds are identical. Analytical results, based on a robust asymptotic form of 3D field equation integral transforms, shows clearly the role of convection in solution behavior. The enhancement — and generation — of exponential/sinusoidal behavior is noted.
