Abstract
Following an example set by Slepyan, it proves possible to employ the Wiener-Hopf method to obtain exact solutions for fracture and friction problems at the atomic scale. I will describe a number of physical phenomena that have been analyzed in this way. These include the velocity gap and micro-branching instability for dynamic cracks, a connection of friction with self-healing pulses, and resolution of the energy transport paradox for supersonic cracks.
