heal.abstract	In this paper, the method of reflected caustics-which was used to evaluate Mode III SIF's in stationary cracks in isotropic plates-was extended to deal with stationary cracks in orthotropic plates. Furthermore, a correspondence between the anisotropic stationary case and the case of a Mode III dynamic crack, traversing an isotropic plate, is developed by analyzing appropriately the governing equations of the two problems. For this purpose the singulardisplacement field for rectilinearly orthotropic cracked bodies was combined with either Yoffé's model for steady-state, or Broberg's model for transient-crack propagation. Graphs are given where the equivalence between these cases can be established. In this way, the dynamic problem of the propagating crack in an isotropic medium can be readily simulated by considering the experimentally easier anisotropic stationary case. © 1984 Society for Experimental Mechanics, Inc.	en
