Consider the example problem in Section 13.6.4. If the substrate which is contact-loaded with a punch were to be of finite width W - 6a (where 2a is the width of the contact zone), instead of being infinitely wide, repeat part (i) of that problem and find the mode I and mode II stress intensity factors for the equivalent crack analogue. You may assume that the depth of the substrate beneath the punch is infinitely large.
