The fracture mechanics of orthotropic non-homogeneous materials like welds involves the use of a fracture criterion with the stress analysis of the specimen. A maximum energy release rate criterion is proposed in this analysis. A finite element model with special crack tip elements has been develpoe

## 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 f
The effect of variation of stress frequency on fatigue crack propagation in 99.5% pure titanium, which has remarkable strain rate dependence in the plastic region and anisotropy, was studied. Fatigue crack propagation tests were carried out under four stress frequencies: two constant stress frequenc
