Abstract

Explicit asymptotic solutions are still unavailable for an elliptical crack or sharp V-notch in a three-dimensional elastic domain. Towards their derivation we first consider the Laplace equation. Both homogeneous Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions on the surfaces intersecting at the elliptical edge are considered. We derive these asymptotic solutions and demonstrate, just as for the circular edge case, that these are composed of three series with eigenfunctions and shadows depending on two coordinates.
