The interaction between a penny-shaped crack and a spherical elastic inclusion embedded in an infinite elastic matrix subjected to a time-harmonic crack-face loading is investigated. Boundary integral equations (BIEs) are applied for the numerical solution of the problem in the frequency domain. The singularity subtraction and the mapping techniques in conjunction with a collocation scheme are implemented...
