Stresses in an orthotropic semi-infinite strip due to edge loads
The stresses in an orthotropic elastic semi-infinite strip subject to plane strain are investigated. Symmetrical distributions of surface tractions are prescribed on the sides of the strip, while along the end the boundary conditions are arbitrary. By using an integral transform method the problem is reduced to a singular integral equation. The dependence of the stress singularity and the stress-intensity factors on the orthotropic properties of the strip is investigated. Stress distributions over the strip end are evaluated numerically.
