Abstract
A hodograph transformation in conjunction with an appropriate affine transformation are both used to investigate the strain and stress fields near the crack tip in an anisotropic power law material under antiplane shear. Stress and strain exponents as well as angular distributions for the asymptotic stress and strain fields are obtained analytically. All the stress strain exponents are independent of material anisotropy, and the effect of material anisotropy on the asymptotic stress and strain field is discussed including higher order terms.
