Abstract
The problem of a laminate composite in presence of a crack located normal to the bond lines is considered. Stress analysis of the limiting case when the crack extends to the bond lines is carried out. Integral transform technique is used to formulate the problem in terms of a singular integral equation from which the power of stress singularity around the crack tip terminating at the interface is obtained. The singular integral equation is solved numerically and the effect of material properties on the stress intensity factor is calculated.
