Abstract
Interfacial dislocations and cracks in anisotropic bimaterials are considered. The displacement and the stress fields due to an interfacial dislocation are obtained in a real and simple form. Explicit solutions to the traction along the interface and the crack opening displacement for a Griffith interface crack are derived. Possible definitions of stress intensity factors are given which reduce to the classical definition for a crack in a homogeneous medium. It is found that a planar interface between dissimilar anisotropic solids is completely characterized by no more than 9 independent parameters. Some invariant properties of the dislocation and crack solutions under coordinate transformation are also discussed.
