The paper addresses a fracture problem for an orthotropic cracked plate made of a material with different tensile and compressive strengths and subjected to biaxial loading. The problem is solved using a micromechanical fracture model proposed earlier by the authors. It is assumed that the fracture of the material in the fracture process zones at the crack front is described by the Gol’denblat–Kopnov failure criterion. Strength curves for an orthotropic cracked plate with different strength and fracture-toughness parameters are plotted
