โฆ Synopsis
The problems of determining the stress and displacement fields in an infinite orthotropic plane containing a cruciform crack Ixl ~< a, y = 0 and I Yl ~< b, x = 0, when (I) the shape of the crack is prescribed and (II) the cracks are opened by given normal pressures, are reduced to mixed boundary value problems for the quarter plane. Using integral transform techniques, a closed form solution is obtained for problem I, whereas the solution of problem II has been reduced to solving a Fredholm integral equation of second kind with non-singular kernel. Numerical calculation of the stress intensity factor and crack energy in the case of a linear loading function for various crack lengths are presented for problem II, using the values of material constants for a Boron-Epoxy composite.
