The periodic cracks of infinite anisotropic media under plane skew- symmetric loadings (Q1069769)

This paper attempts to solve periodic crack problems for infinite anisotropic media under plane skew-symmetric loadings by means of the method of complex functions. The problems are now reduced to the determination of two complex functions that must satisfy certain boundary conditions. In this paper, the stresses, the displacements and the boundary conditions are assumed to be periodic, and further, the stresses are assumed to be bounded at infinity. The solutions are expressed in closed forms.
