✦ Synopsis
The T-stress is considered as an important parameter in linear elastic fracture mechanics. In this paper, several closed form solutions of T-stress in plane elasticity crack problems in an in®nite plate are investigated using the complex potential theory. In the line crack case, if the applied loading is the remote stress or the concentrated forces, the T-stress can be derived from the basic ®eld. Here, the basic ®eld is de®ned as the ®eld caused by the applied loading in the in®nite plate without the crack. For the circular arc crack, the T-stress can be abstracted from a known solution. For the cusp crack problems, the T-stress can be separated from the obtained stress solution for which the conformal mapping technique is used.

A new integral equation is proposed in this paper to investigate the problems of branch cracks with arbitrary configuration in plane elasticity. In the new integral equation, the unknown functions are the usual dislocation functions, and the right hand terms of the integral equations represent the r
