Cracked Pre-Stressed Elastic Composite Subjected by Sliding Forces I. Mathematical Modelling

Article Preview

Abstract:

We consider one or two collinear cracks in a pre-stressed, orthotropic, linear elastic material representing a fiber reinforced elastic composite. Elastic incremental fields in the composite material, using Guzs representation theory, Cauchy-Riemann problem and critical values of incremental tangential stresses that producing crack propagation are obtained using Sihs generalized criterion.
