Abstract

The problem of semi-infinite crack situated in an orthotropic strip sandwiched between two identical half planes has been considered. The considered boundary value problem has been solved to convert it into the standard Wiener-Hopf equation by using Fourier transform technique, which has been solved to obtain analytical expressions for stress intensity factor and crack opening displacement. The variations of stress intensity factors and crack opening displacement are displayed graphically for different pair of orthortropic materials and for various depth of the strip of the composite media.
