OUT OF PLANE SHEAR OF A CRACKED RECTANGULAR ORTHOTROPIC BLOCK G. MELROSE and S. DAVIDSON Old Dominion University, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Norfolk, VA 23529-0077. U.S.A. Abstract-The problem under consideration is the out of plane shear of a cracked rectangular orthotropic block. The exact solution is obtained by stating the problem in terms of a triple trigonometric series relation, which in turn can be shown to be equivalent to a singular integral equation whose solution is known. For the case of constant shear, the solution simplifies greatly and numerical results are given,

RESULTS
FOR CONSTANT
SHEAR
For the special case of a constant shear the problem reduces greatly. First we observe that wr(x, y) = ry and hence f(x) = T. This allows us to simplify the singular integral terms F,(a) and Fr(b). Indeed, we find that

Fig. 2. Stress intensity vs aspect ratio for various values of (hp).
Figures 1 and 2 give the scaled stress intensities vs aspect ratio for various values of (A/3). Here k,, = & where d = (b - a)/2 and c denotes the midpoint of the crack. For c = ~r/2, by symmetry, we have k, = kb which is the special case investigated by Chang[2]. The results given here are in agreement with those obtained by Chang. We note how quickly k//c, degenerates to the results of an infinite strip with a central crack (A --, m) and the effect of orthotropy in this case is not very significant. For the off-center crack, however, the orthotropic property seems to have more bearing.
