Investigating the effect of loading on the governing equation at the split region for a semi-infinite crack in an orthotropic material under antiplane loading

Abstract Most often there is a great disparity between experimental results and analytic results. Before now under disparity, researchers kept suspecting the procedures without investigating whether their solution actually satisfy governing equation. When body in plane loading, loading splits into regions, equation must be satisfied at these regions for derived to true. In this paper, I considered homogeneous infinite orthotropic material containing semi-infinite crack. A longitudinal shear load of magnitude Q applied on crack front. The displacement field closed form obtained. verification split carried out shown differential
