Elastic equilibrium of an interface crack between rigid stamp and orthotropic strip

摘要

Rupture of the interface between on absolutely rigid stamp and an orthotropic infinite strip is investigated. A plane elasticity problem for an interface crack formally leads to oscillatory singularities at the crack tip. In order to overcome this nonphysical solution, a model of an interface crack with frictionless contact zones near the crack tips and the corners of the stamp is developed. By using the method of integral Fourier transforms the problem is reduced to a system of three singular integral equations. The system is solved by the method of collocations with the points of collocation chosen at zeros of the Chebyshev polynomials. The stress intensity factors at the crack tips and the stamp corner points are evaluated.
