Abstract

The paper presents a theoretical treatise for the three-dimensional elastic stress distributions close to anisotropic bimaterial corners according to which the 3D governing equations are successfully reduced to two uncoupled equations in the two-dimensional space. The former provides the solution of the corresponding plane notch problem, the latter provides the solution of the corresponding out-of-plane shear notch problem. With the new theory an analytical solution for the stress fields for bimaterial corners in thick anisotropic composite plates is presented and its degree of accuracy is discussed comparing theoretical results and numerical data from 3D FE analyses carried out on bimaterial composite plates and joints.
