Abstract

The elastic Green's functions for displacements and stresses have been calculated for a composite solid containing a planar crack in a planar interface using the Green's function derived in a previous paper for a line load parallel to the composite interface. The resulting functions can be used to calculate the stress or displacement at any point in the composite for a variety of elastic singularities. As specific applications, the Mode I stress intensity factor of an interfacial crack was calculated as were the Green's functions for the semi-infinite antiplane strain case. The Mode I case shows the near-crack tip oscillations reported by other authors while the Mode III case does not. The newly devised Green's functions are shown to reproduce the results of other authors in the isotropic limit.
