Abstract

The exact expressions for stress-intensity factors at crack tips the and crack shape are obtained by using finite and integral Fourier transforms method while cracks are opened by symmetrical system of body forces in an infinite stress-free orthotropic strip. It is found that normal stress components possess Cauchy type singularity at crack tips while displacement is smooth.
