Experimental findings on the effects of biaxial loading on fracture toughness, non-self-similar growth problems, fatigue crack propagation, and subcritical growth properties are reviewed, together with the fundamental analytical solutions for problems of crack in an elastic solid under biaxial loading. Basic asymptotic field representations, and some stress-intensity factor solutions are presented. The effects of biaxial loading on problems involving plastic deformation are illustrated with recent numerical results. Early asymptotic solutions for a nonlinear elastic solid are discussed with emphasis on the solution of problems with significant plastic deformation, and on stable crack growth. A brief survey of the applications literature, and recommendations for future studies are included.
