โฆ Synopsis
The problem of an edge crack in a semi-infinite plane of linear elastic orthotropic material is studied. The correction factor which relates the stress intensity factor for this problem to that for an isolated crack in an infinite body is evaluated for a range of orthotropic material properties. Calculations are restricted to mode I problems. The method requires the numerical solution of an integral equation, the integrands in which are derived from related complex variable solutions.

The stress-intensity factors for a semi-infinite plane crack with a wavy front are determined when the crack faces are subjected to normal and shearing tractions. The results are derived using asymptotic methods and are valid to O(e 2) where E = A/X ~ 1; A is the amplitude and ~ is the wavelength of
