Abstract
The behavior of a fiber-reinforced elastic material subject to initial stresses in antiplane state is considered in the paper. We determine the incremental values of the shear stresses producing crack propagation and we determine the crack propagation direction in a pre-stressed orthotropic or isotropic elastic material. The problem of two collinear cracks interaction it is also studied in the paper.
