Abstract
In this paper the interface crack problem for two elastic half spaces bonded through a nonhomogeneous interfacial zone is considered. It is assumed that the medium is under antiplane shear loading. The problem is solved for two different interfacial zone models that may approximate the actual diffusion bonded materials or homogeneous solids bonded through a functionally gradient material. Extensive results are obtained by varying the stiffness and the interfacial zone thickness to crack length ratios. Also, for various limiting cases the behaviour of the stress intensity factors and the strain energy release rates are studied.
