DESCRIPTION:The feeling of &ldquo\;lost in translation&rdquo\; is familiar
  to everyone who stumbles on a relevant literature source written by someo
 ne with a different academic background. It may take a significant effort 
 to &ldquo\;translate&rdquo\; the source and interpret its contents into a 
 familiar &ldquo\;language.&rdquo\; This may happen in various research are
 as and analysis of crack problems is one of such examples.&nbsp\;&nbsp\; T
 he methods of analytical or computational crack modelling vary with the ac
 ademic background of the researcher and with specific applications. In add
 ition\, as typically happens in scientific research\, the developments in 
 the relevant areas take place simultaneously in different countries\, and 
 the results are literally described and published in different languages. 
 Some of those publications are not even translated.  The talk examines maj
 or techniques for modelling elastostatic crack problems. The foundations o
 f these techniques and fundamental papers that introduced\, developed\, an
 d applied them are reviewed. The goal is to provide &ldquo\;translation&rd
 quo\; between different academic languages that describe the same problem.
