Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to present the basic solution of two collinear mode-I cracks in the orthotropic medium by the use of the non-local theory.

Design/methodology/approach

Meanwhile, the generalized Almansi’s theorem and the Schmidt method are used. By the Fourier transform, it is converted to a pair of dual integral equations.

Findings

Numerical examples are provided to show the effects of the crack length, the distance between the two collinear cracks and the lattice parameter on the stress field near the crack tips in the orthotropic medium.

Originality/value

The present solution exhibits no stress singularity at the crack tips in the orthotropic medium.
