RT Journal Article T1 On the Eshelby-Kostrov property for the wave equation in the plane A1 Herrero, Miguel A. A1 Oleaga Apadula, Gerardo Enrique A1 Velázquez, J.J. L. AB This work deals with the linear wave equation considered in the whole plane R2 except for a rectilinear moving slit, represented by a curve Γ (t) = {(x1, 0) : −∞ < x1 < λ(t)} with t ≥ 0. Along Γ (t) , either homogeneous Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions are imposed. We discuss existence and uniqueness for these problems, and derive explicit representation formulae for solutions. These last have a simple geometrical interpretation, and in particular allow to derive precise asymptotic expansions for solutions near the tip of the curve. In the Neumann case, we thus recover a classical result in fracture dynamics, namely the form of the stress intensity factor in crack propagation under antiplane shear conditions PB American Mathematical Society SN 1088-6850 YR 2006 FD 2006 LK https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/49705 UL https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/49705 LA eng DS Docta Complutense RD 10 abr 2025
