T-Stress of a Bi-Material Strip Under Generalized Edge Loads

摘要

An expression for the T-stress in a bi-material strip with a semi-finite interfacial crack is derived for general edge loads using a conservation integral method. The expression is explicit except for two non-dimensional constants, which are determined from a finite element analysis and which are tabulated as a function of the Dundurs’ parameters and the thickness ratio of the strip.
