2.2. Integral Equations of the Problem

To construct the solution of problem (1) – (3), we apply the method of singular integral equations. Using fundamental solutions of biharmonic equations and accounting for the periodicity of the problem, we write integral representations for forces and moments on the crack line through derivatives of unknown jump functions (Savruk, 1981):

We assume that the jump [ ] y  is sign-constant over the entire crack length. From contact conditions (2), a relationship between the derivatives of jumps follows:

[ ]( ) [ ]( )sgn([ ]( )). y y y u x h x x     

Then, after substituting the integral representations into boundary conditions (2), we obtain an integral equation with a singular Hilbert kernel:
