When a crack tip impinges upon a bi-material interface, the order of the stress singularity will be equal to, less than or greater than one-half. The generalized stress intensity factors have already been determined for some such configurations, including when a finite-length crack is perpendicular to the interface. However, for these non-square-root singular stresses, the determination of the conditions for crack growth are not well established. In this investigation, the critical value of the generalized stress intensity factor for tensile loading is related to the work of adhesion by using a cohesive zone model in an asymptotic analysis of the separation near the crack tip. It is found that the critical value of the generalized stress intensity factor depends upon the maximum stress of the cohesive zone model, as well as on the Dundurs parameters ( α and β ). As expected this dependence on the cohesive stress vanishes as the material contrast is reduced, in which case the order of the singularity approaches one-half.

Although a lot of interface crack problems were previously treated, few solutions are available under arbitrary material combination. This paper deals with one central interface crack and numerical interface cracks in a bonded strip. Then, the effects of material combination on the stress intensity factors are discussed. A useful method to calculate the stress intensity factor of interface crack is presented with focusing on the stress at the crack tip calculated by the finite element method. For one central interface crack, it is found that the results of bonded strip under remote uni-axial tension are always depending on the Dunders’ parameters , and different from the well-known solution of the central interface crack under internal pressure that is only depending on . Besides, it is shown that the stress intensity factor of bonded strip can be estimated from the stress of crack tip in the bonded plate when there is no crack. It is also found that when , when , and when . For numerical interface cracks , values of and with arbitrary material combination expressed by , are obtained.

Adhesive fracture of an interdigitated or very rough interface is investigated by considering an interface crack with no-slip zones. Both the normal and the shear stresses are singular at the crack tip with the Mode II stress-intensity factor being generally smaller than that of the Mode I.

The distinctions in the description of the conditions of cracking of materials are revealed. For Griffith–Irwin cracks, fracture is determined by the magnitude of the stress-intensity factor at the crack tip; in the case of the new type of cracks, fracture occurs due to an increase in the stress concentrations up to singular concentrations.

AbstractIn the digital image correlation research of fatigue crack growth rate, the accuracy of the crack tip position determines the accuracy of the calculation of the stress intensity factor, thereby affecting the life prediction. This paper proposes a Gauss-Newton iteration method for solving the crack tip position. The conventional linear fitting method provides an iterative initial solution for this method, and the preconditioned conjugate gradient method is used to solve the ill-conditioned matrix. A noise-added artificial displacement field is used to verify the feasibility of the method, which shows that all parameters can be solved with satisfactory results. The actual stress intensity factor solution case shows that the stress intensity factor value obtained by the method in this paper is very close to the finite element result, and the relative error between the two is only − 0.621%; The Williams coefficient obtained by this method can also better define the contour of the plastic zone at the crack tip, and the maximum relative error with the test plastic zone area is − 11.29%. The relative error between the contour of the plastic zone defined by the conventional method and the area of the experimental plastic zone reached a maximum of 26.05%. The crack tip coordinates, stress intensity factors, and plastic zone contour changes in the loading and unloading phases are explored. The results show that the crack tip change during the loading process is faster than the change during the unloading process; the stress intensity factor during the unloading process under the same load condition is larger than that during the loading process; under the same load, the theoretical plastic zone during the unloading process is higher than that during the loading process.
