Supplementary study on anisotropic plastic stress fields at a stationary plane-stress crack-tip

Abstract

The results in Ref. [1] are not suitable for the cases of α≥2. For this reason, we use the method in Ref. [1] to derive the general expressions of the anisotropic plastic stress fields at a stationary plane-stress crack-tip for both of the cases of α=2 and α>2. As an example, we give the analytical expressions of the anisotropic plastic stress fields at the stationary tips of mode I and mode II plane-stress cracks for the case of α=2.
