contents The crux of the present study is to analyze the Mode I crack propagation behavior in a pre-stressed monoclinic crystalline strip of finite thickness and infinite extent. The investigation focuses on the effects of collinear Griffith cracks and dynamic punch loading induced by plane wave propagation. The cracks are assumed to be in motion, and a Galilean transformation is employed to formulate the problem within a moving coordinate system. The boundary value problem is transformed into a system of coupled Cauchy-type singular integral equations, which are solved analytically using the Hilbert transform method. This approach yields elegant closed-form solutions for both the stress intensity factor and the crack opening displacement. The study considers two monoclinic crystalline materials, Lithium Niobate and Lithium Tantalate, and compares their behavior with that of an isotropic material to assess the role of material anisotropy. Numerical simulations and graphical analysis are performed for the crystalline materials with monoclinic symmetry to evaluate the influence of crack velocity, punch loading, material anisotropy, initial stress, and crack geometry on the fracture parameters. As a special case, the system is analyzed under the action of point loading from the punch pressure, and a comparative assessment is conducted between point loading and constant normal punch pressure. The results unveil critical insights into the dynamic fracture behavior of anisotropic materials under localized loading. This understanding enhances failure prediction in high-precision fields such as geomechanics, MEMS, surface acoustic devices, and biosensors.
