The authors discuss the plane symmetric problem on the calculation of the prefracture zone at the end of a crack entering a non-smooth boundary at the interface of isotropic elastic media. The prefracture zone is modeled by separation lines of normal displacement located on the interface. An exact solution to the corresponding problem of linear elasticity theory is constructed by means of the Wiener-Hopf method.
