Abstract
An oblique edge crack in an anisotropic material under antiplane shear loadings is investigated. The antiplane problems are formulated based on a linear transformation method. An anisotropic solid containing an edge crack subjected to concentrated forces is first considered. The stress intensity factor for the edge crack with concentrated forces is obtained from the solution of the transformed edge crack in an isotropic material which is solved by using conformal mapping technique and complex function theory. The solution of the edge crack under concentrated loads is used to construct the stress intensity factor for the oblique edge crack in the anisotropic material subjected to antiplane distributed loads. Some numerical computations are carried out to calculate the stress intensity factors for the edge crack in inclined orthotropic materials subjected to point forces as well as distributed tractions.
