Stresses around the tip of a Barenblatt crack are calculated. The effect of non‐linear cohesive stresses behind the crack tip is taken into account in a linear elastic crack model consisting of special arrangements of edge dislocations. The cohesive stress distribution calculated, as well as the corresponding non‐linear stress—displacement relation agree with existing qualitative expectations. Within a region of radius d (where d presumably is 6 a < d < 30 a ; a lattice constant) stresses and displacements should decrease more slowly with increasing distance as in the case of a Griffith crack. The distribution of the principal stress lines is discussed.
