Singular fields for a bi-material in anisotropic plane elasticity
Published on - Comptes rendus de l’Académie des sciences. Série IIb, Mécanique, physique, astronomie
Using the anisotropic complex potential method, the singular stress field at a corner of a bi-material is derived in the case of complete anisotropy. The singularity exponent is shown to be a root of a 2×2 matrix determinant. The closed-form solution of the displacement and stress fields is derived. The study of a particular joint uses the Dundurs parameters. The problem of a crack between two dissimilar materials is found as a limiting case of the present analysis.
