Abstract
A Griffith crack lying along the interface between anisotropic elastic solids is analysed. Explicit solutions for the displacement and stress fields are obtained when the crack-tip fields are non-oscillatory ; i.e. the condition W = 0 is satisfied as derived by Qu and Bassani ( J. Mech. Phys. Solids 37, 417–433, 1989). In this case, the stress intensity factors are real and the three fracture modes are separable at the crack tip. For interfaces formed by misorienting identical anisotropic solids through a relative tilt, this condition is satisfied if the in-plane and anti-plane deformations decouple in the interface-crack coordinates. Complete crack-tip stress fields are calculated for FCC bicrystals satisfying the decoupling condition. Based on Schmid's law, the small-scale-yielding plastic zones surrounding the crack tip are also estimated.
