A review of Green’s functions for dissimilar or homogeneous elastic space containing penny-shaped or annular interfacial cracks under singular ring-shaped loading sources is presented. The solutions are based on fictitious singular loading sources and superposition of the fundamental solutions of the following two problems: (a) Dissimilar elastic solid without crack under singular source, and (b) Dis-similar elastic solid containing crack under surface tractions. The above Green’s functions have the following advantages: (i) No multi-region BE modeling for the dissimilar material is necessary, and (ii) No discretization of the crack surface is necessary. Numerical examples are presented and discussed.
