In this paper, governing equations and solutions for asymptotic singular and nonsingular crack-tip sectors in perfectly plastic materials are first summarized under combined in-plane and out-of-plane shear loading conditions. The crack-tip fields under mixed mode II/III loading conditions are then investigated. An assembly of crack-tip sectors is adopted with stress discontinuities along the border of the two constant stress sectors. The solutions of the crack-tip fields under pure mode II, mixed mode II/III, and nearly pure mode III loading conditions are presented. The trends of the angular variations of the mixed mode II/III crack-tip stresses agree with those of the available computational analysis and the asymptotic analysis for low strain hardening materials. The pure mode II crack-tip stresses are similar to those of Hutchinson, and the nearly pure mode III stresses are similar to those of the pure mode III crack-tip field of Rice.

In a recent paper (referred to as I) we obtained inter alia , the stress and displacement fields at the tips of a transverse crack in an isotropic medium sandwiched between orthotropic media under in-plane loading (mode II). The crack was lying wholly within the isotropic medium so that the singularity at the crack tip was of the usual inverse square root type. In this paper, the analysis is extended to the case when the tip of the crack terminates on the transversely isotropic-orthotropic bimaterial interface and the nature of the singularity at the crack tip depends on the elastic properties of both media. The analysis is performed for both inplane (mode II) and out-of-plane (mode III) shear loading. General solutions are obtained for the crack tip stress singularities and corresponding stress intensity factors, together with the influence of the elastic properties and geometry of the media upon the stress field. These solutions are specialized to the limiting case when the crack terminates on the interface between dissimilar isotropic media in order to demonstrate consistency with published results. As in I, the solutions are used to investigate the influence of ply angle θ upon the stress singularities in [± θ /90°] s fibre-reinforced composite laminates. For this analysis, the outer angle-ply sublaminates are treated macroscopically as homogeneous orthotropic media whose elastic constants are obtained using the classical lamination approximation. Calculations are also carried out to study the variation of stress intensity factors with the ply angle and outer sublaminate thickness.

In this paper, we first discuss some of the properties of the crack-tip sectors for perfectly plastic materials under plane-stress conditions. Then starting with the plane-stress mixed-mode crack-tip fields suggested by Shih (1973), we assemble these sectors in a slightly different manner from those in Shih (1973). The missing governing equations needed to completely specify the crack-tip fields for both near mode I and near mode II mixed-mode loadings are derived. The mode I crack-tip field, as the limit of the near mode I cases, differs from Hutchinson’s solution (1968) by the appearance of a small constant stress sector ahead of the crack tip. In addition, the relevance of the solutions of the near mode II cases to some interesting features of the mixed-mode crack-tip fields, as suggested by Budiansky and Rice (1973), is also discussed.
