Abstract
In fracture and damage mechanics, modeling of crack propagation has always been a source of difficulties. Numerous works have been carried out on this case at the crack tip, introducing new parameters: the Stress Intensity Factor (K); which is the local Irwin parameter, and also the Rice integral (J), the Griffith's energizing method, in which J and G are the global parameters around the crack tip. The problem of the crack remains very complex and difficult problem to be solved. Several methods are used to investigate the crack problem, namely the method of gradient, the numerical methods by finite elements, as well as the thermodynamic approach and the classical methods of Irwin, Griffith or Rice, according to the Intensity Stress Factor. This study adds to the work already carried out. Using the analytical analysis method of equations, we manage to show that the Stress Intensity Factor has a matrix of rank 3 at the crack tip, which is a better form since it includes complex combination cases of crack mode and bifurcation. Furthermore, when the material is subjected to complex stress, after analysis we emerge from a new singularity in (r) which is different from the classical mode. Finally, we are shown the new form of singularity, which is frequency dependent. This work can explain many situations, for example, the case of certain structural disasters showing the presence of cracks for complex or uncontrollable stress.

2. Problem Formulations
2.1. Model Description
Let us consider a material with the initial mode I crack, submitted to a vibrating force (F
i), applied on the boundary surface (∂Ω
d) and the volume (Ω), (see
Figure 1).
Figure 1. Material with a crack under complex solicitation in which U is the displacement, N is the component of Fi in the ith direction, and are lips of the crack.
The general equation governing this domain is given by the following relation
(1)
By using the Clebsch theorem, the displacement vector U as well as all field of vector can be rewritten as
in which the U₁ is the derivative of a potential scalar and U₂ a potential vector. U is class C², which leads after the transformation to:
while taking into account Eq. (
2) into Eq. (
1), one has:
(4)
which accounting to Eq. (
3),
and
, leads to

2.2. Model Equation in Curvilinear Coordinates
Take into account the influence of the benchmark linked to the evolutionary trajectory of the crack, we make in the vicinity of the crack tip, the following changes of variable:
(6)
where (x0, y0, z0) are the Cartesian coordinates of the tip in the reference mark., (x, y, z) are the coordinates of the point located in bottom of crack or to the neighborhood of the crack tip so that, in the reference mark bound to the crack which can be expressed in spherical coordinated as:
(7)
leading the derivation operator to

with since one knows that the trajectory (ℓ) is function of (x₀, y₀, z₀) by the slant of the applied constraint (σapp) in the crack tip. We obtain the new form of partial derivative:

Considering elementary displacements dr, rdθ, rsinθdφ, the Laplacian △(x,y,z) becomes in spherical coordinates:

leading to
(11)
Where represents the "singular" Laplacian because it depends on the evolution of the crack tip, so that
(12)
While applying this change of variable and reference mark to the resolution of the equation (
5), we obtain in the spherical coordinates
(13)
which is the general equation of propagation associated to the stationary reference mark, therefore the solution is a superposition of regular solutions U
r and singular solution U
ε. To find U
ε, we consider the neighborhood domain of the crack tip who bound to the dynamic reference mark were origin is crack tip. The regulars terms bound to the stationary reference mark and out of the singular zone are both equal zero, leading Eq. (
13) to
(14)
This equation is the vibration equation and the propagation of the crack tip in the singular domain bound to the presence of the crack by the variable ℓ (length of the crack).
3. Structure of Solution
3.1. Preliminary
To determine the solution in the domain of crack or singularity zone who is characterized by the presence of the crack in this volume and the rayon r limited by Γ. We introduce the criteria of bifurcation by the matrix [K] (Matrix of the Factor of constraint intensity defined as.

3.3. Quasi-Static Approach
To solve (
14), we are make the hypothesis of small perturbation (HPP) and consider the harmonic motion with the limit condition by

It gives us a good interpretation for the evolution of frequencies: This graph shows that when r is big the frequency decreases explaining the fact that one is far from of the crack tip, on the other hand, when one comes closer of the crack tip (
), we are the plastic domain and greatly nonlinear equation (
21). In neighbor domain (
), the presence of crack leads to strongly increasing of the frequency.

The different curves show that, for every value of the frequency, when r increases, far from crack offers toward zero: we are the linear domain.
6. Conclusion
Through this survey we putted in light three aspects: the first aspect concerning the FIK that can get therefore under matrix of rank 3, the eigenvalues of this matrix are the classical mode KI, KII and KIII; secondly, the appearing of new forms of singularity in the crack tip: third, the influence of frequencies on the singularity therefore on the propagation of the crack. The present work reveals that a vibratory loading of a material with an initial mode I of crack leads to the appearance of non classical singular modes of the type , around the crack tip. These modes, in combination with those classically encountered in work on the calculation of the displacement field in materials exhibiting a crack, can produce a change in crack path as well as mode bifurcations and branching effects at the crack tip origin. The damage of the material is then more pronounced and happens more quickly than it does in absence of the vibratory loading. In addition, the way to perform the inner and the outer asymptotic expansions around the crack tips undergoes a substantial changing in some way due to by the complexity of the radial functions and . For knα = 0 we obtain the classical case who the displacements are singular in . Beside for knα ≠ 0, the displacements are singular in , we have the small perturbation and the strong perturbation for the singularity of .
