“…Indeed, the increase in this thickness leads to highest stress concentrations at the crack tip. This is in agreement with experimental observations of Cirello and Zuccarello [42]. These experimental tests have shown that the cracked material thickness influences significantly the stress distribution around the crack tip.…”

eigenfunction expansion technique. Zak and Williams [1] showed that the stress field singularity at the tip of a crack perpendicular to an interface or terminating at the interface is of order r −λ , where λ is the real part of the eigenvalue and depends on the elastic properties of the bi-material. Bogy [2] investigated the stress singularity of an infinite crack terminating at the interface with an arbitrary angle of different material components. Cook and Erdogan [3] used the Mellin transform method to derive the governing equation of a finite crack perpendicular to the interface and obtained the stress intensity factors (SIFs). The authors found that the power singularity of stress around the crack tip is not −1/2. Erdogan and Biricikoglu [4] solved the problem of two bounded half planes with a crack going through the interface. Wang and Chen [5] used photoelasticity to determine the stress distribution and the stress intensity factors of a crack perpendicular to the interface [6-8], and also used finite element to analyze cracks perpendicular to bimaterial in a finite elastic body. Chen [9] used the body force method to determine the stress intensity factors for a normal crack terminating at a bi-material interface. Chen et al.[10] used the dislocation simulation approach to investigate the crack tip parameters for a crack perpendicular to an interface in a finite solid. He and Hutchinson [11] also considered cracks approaching the interface at oblique angles. Lin and Mar [6] presented a finite element analysis of the stress intensity factors for cracks perpendicular to the bi-material interface. Chang and Xu [12] presented the singular stress field and the stress intensity factors solution for an inclined crack terminating at a bi-material interface. A theoretical description of the stress singularity at an inclined crack terminating at an anisotropic bi-material interface was proposed by Lin and Sung [13]. Wang and Stahle [14,15] used the dislocation simulation approach to investigate a crack perpendicular to and terminating at the Abstract The objective of the present work is to investigate the interaction between interfaces and cracks normal to and terminating at a metal/alumina interface. The behavior is analyzed by the determination of the J integral and the plastic zone at the crack tip using the three-dimensional finite element methods. The effects of the thickness of the metal/alumina were highlighted. The obtained results allow us to deduce mathematical relations, giving the variation of the J integral and the plastic zone as a function of the crack position and the bi-materials thickness.

“…As it is well known, for short fiber composites, a low matrix-adhesion can lead to easy debonding of the transversal fibers along with possible pull-out of the longitudinal fibers. In the long fiber composite, instead, a poor fiber-matrix adhesion can lead to debonding phenomena, only in presence of significant and diffuse matrix defects [45]. Within the framework of biocomposites reinforced by natural fibers, the correlation between actual strength and fiber-matrix adhesion is frequently based on an aprioristic and nonrigorous association between low performance and low fiber-matrix adhesion, without to consider other important influence parameters, as the stiffness of the coupled materials and the consequent efficiency of the fiber reinforcing.…”

“…In FE analysis, the crack surface is treated as a free surface, and crack evolves through the interface between elements. [1][2][3] For this nodes-failure method, the tied nodes are coincident until failure. When the average effective plastic strains of the adjacent elements reach the failure value, the constrained nodes of the elements are released to simulate the formation of a crack.…”

“…According to interfacial fracture mechanics, the crack will reroute around the interface and display a complicated fracture process. [1][2][3][4] For the purpose of predicting damage evolution exactly, investigation of the interfacial strength effects is one crucial issue. The fracture behavior of fibrous composites is characterized by a combination of complex micro-damage events, such as fiber breakage, interface debonding, matrix cracking and fiber being pulling out, due to different interfacial strengths.…”

Dynamic crack propagation routes in composites were investigated using numerical methods. The interfacial strength was characterized by means of the interfacial nodal constrained failure. Five different micro‐damage modes around a broken fiber and the corresponding stress/strain curves were obtained with the interfacial strength increasing. It was proved that the shear stress concentration region appears to be different as the interface varying from weak to strong and that the recovery of fiber load‐supporting with a strong interface is better than that with a weak interface. Experimental work has been done and the available results agree well with corresponding simulation results.
