✦ Synopsis

The influence of biaxiality of loading on the orientation of caustics formed from the tips of a slant crack in an infinite plate was studied. Some intricate results on the subject were, also, emphasized. The correlation between ch~acteristic values of stress-intensity factors and several combinations of the biaxial&y ratio and the angle of inclination was established.
