| Abstract: | We study the process of splitting of a compressed piecewise homogeneous medium under high-speed motion of a wedge with the
formation of a crack of unknown extent ahead of the wedge. The motion of the wedge occurs along the interface between physico-mechanical
properties of the piecewise homogeneous plane. We carry out numerical studies. We obtain asymptotic representations of the
elastic potentials at the limiting velocities of motion of the wedge. Two figures. One table. Bibliography: 6 titles.
