Recently derived symmetric and skew-symmetric weight function matrices are introduced for both plane strain and antiplane shear cracks, and used together with the fundamental reciprocal identity (Betti formula) in order to formulate the elastic fracture problem in terms of singular integral equations relating the applied loading and the resulting crack opening. The proposed compact formulation can be used to solve many problems in linear elastic fracture mechanics (for example various classic crack problems in homogeneous and heterogeneous anisotropic media, as piezoceramics or composite materials). This formulation is also fundamental in many multifield theories, where the elastic problem is coupled with other concurrent physical phenomena. date: 2012 date_type: submitted publisher: arXiv institution: IMT Institute for Advanced Studies Lucca official_url: http://arxiv.org/abs/1205.1321 citation: Morini, Lorenzo and Piccolroaz, Amdrea and Mishuris, Gennady and Radi, Enrico Integral identities for a semi-infinite interfacial crack in anisotropic elastic bimaterials.
