In this study, theoretical bi-elastic constant α for an interface crack between dissimilar anisotropic composite materials has been obtained. The obtained theoretical solution has been settled to the equation which defines conventional α for an interface crack between isotropic materials, when it brings each material property close to the characteristic of isotropic composite ones. The remarkable conclusion is to determine α regardless of the direction of the boundary surface, if angle difference between anisotropic strongest axes in both sides is fixed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
