β¦ Synopsis
In this study, the problem of an isotropic sector subjected to anti-plane shear loadings is investigated. The loadings were applied to the arc of the sector, and the radial edges of the sector were under traction-free or fixed conditions. Depending on these conditions, three problems, namely, free-free, fixed-free, and fixed-fixed edges were studied. A procedure using the finite Mellin transform combined with the Laplace transform was proposed for solving these problems. Explicit closed form solutions for the displacement and stress fields throughout the sector were obtained. The stress intensity factor (SIF) for each problem was analyzed using the obtained stress fields. It was determined that the SIF disappeared under the special condition of a fixed-fixed edge. Other special cases having anti-symmetric conditions were deduced from the derived solutions, and the results of these verified those cited in the literature as well as those obtained using finite element analysis (FEA).

This paper presents analytical Green's function solutions for an isotropic elastic half-space subject to antiplane shear deformation. The boundary of the half-space is modeled as a material surface, for which the Gurtin-Murdoch theory for surface elasticity is employed. By using Fourier cosine trans
