【 摘 要 】

Fracture of the bonded dissimilar materials generally initiates near the interface, or just from the interface edge due to the edge stress singularity. In this study, the stress intensity factor of an edge crack close to the interface between the dissimilar materials is considered. The small edge crack is strongly dominated by the singular stress field near the interface edge. The analysis of stress intensity factor of small edge crack near the interface in bi-material and butt joint plates is carried out by changing the length and the location of the crack and the region dominated by the interface edge is examined. It is found that the dimensionless stress intensity factor of small crack, normalized by the singular stress at the crack tip point in the bonded plate without the crack, is equal to 1.12, independent of the material combination and adhesive thickness, when the relative crack length with respect to the crack location is less than 0.01. Therefore, the stress intensity factor of the small edge crack can be simply evaluated not only in the bi-material plate but also in the butt joint plate.
