The fracture behavior of an interface crack tip has significant influence on the structural integrity of an adhesive joint. We investigate a damage zone and the deformation of rubber particles around a tip of an interface crack between rubber-modified epoxy resin and aluminum. They are compared with those around a crack tip in homogeneous rubber-modified epoxy resin. Cavitations in rubber particles are observed around a damaged crack tip in homogeneous resin but not around a damaged interface crack tip. Rubber particles around an interface crack tip are deformed ellipsoidally due to the residual stress even before being damaged, and interfaces between rubber particles and epoxy resin around an interface crack tip are debonded after being damaged.

In this paper is presented the new approach to asymptotic analysis of the stress and strain fields around a crack tip that is propagating dynamically along a bimaterial interface. Through asymptotic analysis the problem is being reduced to solving the Riemann-Hilbert's problem, what yields the strain potential that is used for determination of the strain field around a crack tip. The considered field is that of a dynamically propagating crack with a speed that is between zero and shear wave speed of the less stiffer of the two materials, bound along the interface. Using the new approach in asymptotic analysis of the strain field around a tip of a dynamically propagating crack and possibilities offered by the Mathematica programming package, the results are obtained that are compared to both experimental and numerical results on the dynamic interfacial fracture known from the literature. This comparison showed that it is necessary to apply the complete expression obtained by asymptotic analysis of optical data and not only its first term as it was done in previous analyses.

An alternative decomposition of the strain gradient tensor is proposed in this paper in order to ensure that the deviatoric strain gradient vanishes for an arbitrary volumetric strain field, which is consistent with the physical picture of plastic deformation. The theory of mechanism-based strain gradient (MSG) plasticity is then modified accordingly based on this new decomposition. The numerical study of the crack-tip field based on the new theory shows that the crack tip in MSG plasticity has the square-root singularity, and the stress level is much higher than the HRR field in classical plasticity.
