Abstract
The deflection criterion of an interface crack under wedge loading was investigated in terms of the ratio of the energy release rate of a deflected crack ( G d) to that of a penetrated crack ( G p), and the virtual crack size ( a) was normalized in terms of the length from the interface to the loading point ( L). a/ L of approximately 0.001–0.05 is required for the deflection criterion ( G d/ G p) to be converged for the composites with Dunders’ parameter α between −0.6 and 0.6.
