✦ Synopsis

In

this paper, the partial differential equations related to elastodynamic plane problems in an orthotropic medium are reduced by means of composite transformations to a first order elliptic system of the Cauchy-Riemann type. This result justifies the representation of stress and displacement fields in terms of holomorphic functions defined into appropriate complex domains. The above formulation has been used to solve the boundary value problem concerned with the steady state propagation of a finite straight crack in an orthotropic medium. Some asymptotic results are also represented and briefly discussed.
