The problem of predicting the crack extension behaviour of a centre-notched unidirectional graphite-epoxy coupon is investigated. Both the load required to cause initial crack growth and the direction of crack growth are of interest. Comparison between the theoretical predictions and the experiment

The elastic interaction between a main crack and an inclined micro crack in a unidirectional fibre reinforced composite is studied. The Fredholm integral method and the pseudo-traction method proposed in isotropic cases are extended to treat the main-micro crack problems in orthotropic cases. The in
