Abstract
A new fracture mechanics theory is derived based on a new orthotropic–isotropic transformation of the Airy stress function, making the derivation of the Wu-“mixed mode I–II” fracture criterion possible, based on the failure criterion of a flat elliptic crack. As a result of this derivation, the right fracture energy and theoretical relation between mode I and II stress intensities and energy release rates are obtained.
