Abstract
In different sectors of engineering various planar structures often are experiencing motion. If the
motion is with acceleration the inertia loadings in most of the cases cannot be neglected when analyzing
different aspects of the behavior (including fracture) of these structures. In modern engineering using of
continuously inhomogeneous structural materials for making of different structural members and components is
growing constantly. This is due to the excellent properties of these materials. In a result of this, the continuously
inhomogeneous materials represent a very promising alternative to the homogeneous engineering materials
especially in applications where the structures are subjected to extreme loadings and influences. This paper is
focused on investigation of a planar inhomogeneous structure with a longitudinal crack. The structure is
experiencing a rotary motion. The inertia loadings induced by the acceleration are taken into account when
deriving the strain energy release rate. The members of the structure under consideration are made by a
continuously inhomogeneous material having non-linear viscoelastic behavior. Obtaining of the components of
the inertia loading that acts on the structure is presented in detail. A verification of the proposed approach
against the method of the integral J is shown. A parametric study developed by applying the solution of the
strain energy release rate under inertia loading is reported and discussed.
