Abstract
The problem of finding the stress distribution in an infinite transversely isotropic solid containing a Griffith crack is considered under conditions of plane strain. The state of stress is supposed to be due to a rigid inclusion which determines the crack profile over a specified region. It is assumed that the geometrical shape of the inclusion and its material properties are such as to permit a frictionless and complete fit. Quantities of physical interest, i.e. stress intensity factor and crack energy are derived and numerical results are given.
