On the Order of the Stress Singularity for an Anti-Plane Shear Crack at the Interface of Two Bonded Inhomogeneous Elastic Materials
Abstract
The problem of determining the order to the stress singularity for an anti-plane shear crack at the interface of two bonded inhomogeneous elastic materials is considered. It had been conjectured previously that the usual square root singularity occurs if the spatially varying material properties are merely continuous across the bond line but not necessarily continuously differentiable. This paper presents a proof of that conjecture. Keywords: Anti- plane shear interface crack; Nonhomogeneous elastic material; Crack tip stress singularity.
