Abstract: The order of stress singularities at the tip of a crack terminating normally at an interface between two orthotropic media is analyzed. Characteristic equation in complex form for the power ...

Abstract: A crack embedded in a half-plane solid traction-free on the infinite straight boundary is analyzed. The response of the material is linear elastic. A system of singular integral equations for ...

Abstract: The problem of two aligned orthotropic materials bonded perfectly along the interface with cracks embedded in either one or both of the materials while their directions being perpendicular to ...
