    In this paper we study the deformation and stress fields near the tip of a crack under plane strain mode I conditions. A fully nonlinear theory of finite deformations is used and the material, which is assumed to be homogeneous, isotropic, incompressible and elastic, is characterized by its stress-strain behavior in simple shear. For the class of materials considered the governing system of differential equations may lose ellipticity at sufficiently severe strains. The analysis is based on a direct asymptotic calculation. The results involve two curves, issuing from each crack-tip, across which the deformation gradient, the 'effective shear' and the stresses are discontinuous.
