Abstract
This paper considers the plane strain notch-tip filed in a rubber-like material under tension. Based on a new constitutive relation, the asy mptotic equations of the near tip field are derived and solved. It is shown that the notch tip field is composed of two narrowing sectors an d an expanding sector. The dominant stress and strain near the notch t ip are found to be in a state of uniaxial tension.
