∞). If, however, h˃δ (i.e., βh ˃ 3), then this difference is small. In such a case, Equations (2.24) and (2.26) provide close results. For this reason, liquid velocity in a δ-wide fracture may be determined with an accuracy sufficient for practical calculations from a simple Stokes formula Equation (2.26) considering the liquid outside of this layer immobile. If, however, h ˂ δ, (βh ˂ 0.5), the calculations should be conducted using a more complex formula Equation (2.24). Liquid layers for which image practically move together with the fracture surface (as a solid body).

      In a finite thickness layer above the harmonically vibrating fracture surface, for which βhc ≈ 3.69 (where c is the root of equation sh2c + ch2c = 400), and the penetration depth determined as previously is somewhat greater than the value δ = 3/β, but does not exceed the value c/β which it assumes at βh = c. In layers where βh = c, the 20-fold decline in the velocity amplitude is not reached.

      Due to linearity of the problem, the above results are easily generalized for cases of rectilinear periodic arbitrary vibrations and periodic vibrations in two mutually perpendicular directions on the fracture surface.

      The quoted results are comparable with the solution of a problem of fading the agitations caused by a spherical fractured surface in the process of its harmonic vibrations along some direction in an incompressible liquid.

      (dashed line in Figure 2.3). Upon reducing by r0, this equality is exactly equal to (2.27).

      In conclusion, one may note that under the assumption of incompressibility of liquids, a case of lateral fracture surface vibrations is trivial as the liquid vibrates in this direction together with the fracture surface. If compressibility is present, then the process is described by a wave equation which includes an addend accounting for the dissipation of the vibration energy.
