Abstract

In this paper the bond effect in a graded elastic wedge consisting of two radially bonded sub‐wedges, is investigated in linear elasticity. The inhomogeneous anisotropic self similar bi‐wedge loaded by a concentrated force at its apex is first studied analytically under plane strain or generalized plane stress conditions, using the self similarity property. Based on the decomposition of loading in each sub‐wedge and on the continuity of displacements at the interface, the stress and displacement fields are determined. An application has been made in the case of the wedge of angle, θ( = π/2).
