Fracture Problems in Power Law Viscoelastic Materials.
Abstract
Two papers were completed during the contract year. They are appended to this report. The first has been accepted for publication the International Journal of Solids and Structures. The second has recently been submitted to the same journal. Both papers concern themselves with the general issue of debonding. In each paper loading criteria were exhibited under which an interface edge crack between dissimilar elastic media would propogate. It was felt that these questions must be settled for the elastic case before an intelligent approach to the viscoelastic case could be possible. Moreover, several very interesting viscoelastic debonding problems have recently been formulated by the author, so the general program outlined in the contract will be carried forward. (Author)
