Abstract
In this paper, the plane problem for an anisotropic plate with a central straight crack in any direction is solved. The stress functions are given to represent the finite stress concentrations near the crack tips by the weight integral method. It shows that there is no stress singularity at the crack tip. The model can be used to appropriate to fracture mechanics for non-metallic materials.
