Abstract
This paper presents the effect of eccentric cracks on the behavior of stress intensity factors (SIF) of single edge crack in bi-material plates. According to literature, it is found that most of the research conducted previously more on central single edge crack and it is well understood. However, not many research conducted on the eccentric stress intensity factor of single edge crack in bi-material plates. In order to evaluate the SIFs of eccentric edge cracks, ANSYS finite element software is used to model plain strain single edge crack in a plate subjected mode I loadings. The present SIFs are then validated with the existing central crack and it is well agreed to each others. According to the present results, it is found that mode I SIFs decreased insignificantly and mode II SIFs decreased asymptotically when the crack situated away from the central line. As expected all types of SIFs increased when crack length is increased.
