Abstract: This work is devoted so show the appearance of different cracking modes in linearly elastic thin film systems by means of an asymptotic analysis as the thickness tends to zero. By superposing two thin plates, and upon suitable scaling law assumptions on the elasticity and fracture parameters, it is proven that either debonding or transverse cracks can emerge in the limit. A model coupling debonding, transverse cracks and delamination is also discussed.


Summary: In this work, we study the emergence of different crack modes in linearly elastic thin films by means of a \(\Gamma\)-convergence analysis as the thickness tends to zero. We first consider a purely elastic body made of a film deposited on an infinitely stiff substrate through a bonding layer. The displacement mismatch between the film and the substrate generates a cohesive type energy depending on the displacement jump. Then, we consider a single linearly elastic brittle thin film. We show that the limit admissible displacements are of Kirchhoff-Love type outside the cracks, which are themselves transverse. Finally, we study the interplay between transverse cracks and debonding. We come back to the first system made of a film, a bonding layer and a substrate, but now allow it to crack. In the simplified anti-plane setting, in addition to transverse cracks, a threshold criterion acting on the displacement activates either a cohesive or a delamination energy. Some partial results in the general vectorial case are discussed.
