This paper describes the application of the complex variable meshless manifold method (CVMMM) to stress intensity factor analyses of structures containing interface cracks between dissimilar materials. A discontinuous function and the near-tip asymptotic displacement functions are added to the CVMMM approximation using the framework of complex variable moving least-squares (CVMLS) approximation. This enables the domain to be modeled by CVMMM without explicitly meshing the crack surfaces. The enriched crack-tip functions are chosen as those that span the asymptotic displacement fields for an interfacial crack. The complex stress intensity factors for bimaterial interfacial cracks were numerically evaluated using the method. Good agreement between the numerical results and the reference solutions for benchmark interfacial crack problems is realized.

Presented is an approach for obtaining whole-field stress distributions of a bi-material rectangular plate, which is composed of plate I and plate II with a fixed boundary and subjected to external loads, using elasticity mechanics theory. There are two cracks at the edges of the interface of plate I and plate II, which are called as bilateral interface cracks. In the analysis, the effects of the ratio of Young’s modulus of material I (plate I) and to that of material II (plate II) and the ratio of the crack length to the width of the plate on the stress distributions in the vicinity of the interface were examined. Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) and normalized SIF equations were also calculated through the stresses in the vicinity of the crack tips.
