On the Inclined Surface Crack Terminating at the Orthotropic Bimaterial Interface

摘要

The evaluation of the stress singularities and generalised stress intensity factor (GSIF) for the case of an inclined surface crack terminating perpendicular to the interface between two orthotropic materials is considered. The knowledge of the regular and auxiliary solution allows evaluating the GSIF using the reciprocal theorem (Ψ-integral). A co-operating effect of a stronger and a weaker singular stress field for a crack impinging a bimaterial interface is investigated.
