Abstract
The lowest order solution to crack–inhomogeneity interaction is derived for mode I crack. The basic solution evaluates the variation of near-tip stress intensity factors induced by an inhomogeneity of arbitrary shape. A set of simplified forms of the basic solution is also obtained for several special inhomogeneity shapes. As validated by numerical examples, the approximate solutions have good accuracy.
