Abstract
New numerical methods were presented for stress intensity factor analyses of two-dimensional interfacial crack between dissimilar anisotropic materials subjected to thermal stress. The virtual crack extension method and the thermal M-integral method for a crack along the interface between two different materials were applied to the thermoelastic interfacial crack in anisotropic bimaterials. The moving least-squares approximation was used to calculate the value of the thermal M-integral. The thermal M-integral in conjunction with the moving least-squares approximation can calculate the stress intensity factors from only nodal displacements obtained by the finite element analysis. The stress intensity factors analyses of double edge cracks in jointed dissimilar isotropic semi-infinite plates subjected to thermal load were demonstrated. Excellent agreement was achieved between the numerical results obtained by the present methods and the exact solution. In addition, the stress intensity factors of double edge cracks in jointed dissimilar anisotropic semi-infinite plates subjected to thermal loads were analyzed. Their results appear reasonable.
