Abstract

We derived equations that relate the length of a plastic zone near a mode I crack tip in a plate made of an orthotropic material with yield strength levels in the direction of the anisotropy axes. The case of crack orientation along one of the anisotropy axes is examined, with the latter being determined by the strain hardening of a material at the stage preceding the crack nucleation. The growth of yield strength along the axes lying in the plane of the plate is shown to result in smaller sizes of the plastic zone. An increase in yield strength in the direction of the normal to the above plane leads to an increase in its length.
