Propagating interface cracks with frictionless contact (Q1209000): Difference between revisions

Results are presented for a study of the asymptotic stress and deformation fields around a crack that has frictionless crack surface contact, and is growing steadily along the interface of two dissimilar, homogeneous, isotropic and linearly elastic solids. A complete representation of Comninou-type [\textit{M. Comninou}, J. Appl. Mech. 44, 631-636 (1977; Zbl 0369.73092)] elastic crack tip fields is obtained using the method of analytic continuation.
