Abstract
This paper presents some generalized results for the stress analysis of an orthotropic elastic quarter-plane which may be subjected to localized or distributed loads on the boundary or at the interior of the quarter-plane. Formal analytical results are presented for the special cases where the orthotropic elastic quarter-plane is subjected, separately, to a concentrated force applied on the surface and in the interior. Numerical results are also presented for those concentrated force problems where the quarter-plane is composed of typical unidirectional fibre reinforced materials such as boronepoxy and graphite-epoxy composites.
