A simple experimental method is proposed for determining stress intensity factors for composite plates in antiplane loading. The method relies on the fact that, in antiplane loading, a single harmonic potential function describes the state of stress und strain in an isotropic body in much the same way as a single potential function describes local flux densities in an electric conductor.
