The effect of the stress far field on the crack tip behaviour

The boundary value problem of an infinite purely elastic sheet with<br />a traction-free crack loaded with a uniform shear and biaxial tension at<br />infinity is solved. It is shown that the singular terms of stress and displacement functions are inadequate to predict th...
