Evolution of Interface Fracture Mechanics: A Historical Perspective

Interface Fracture Mechanics has evolved over the years with significant contributions from researchers like Griffith, Irwin, and Williams. The early years focused on linear elastic fracture mechanics, leading to the development of stress intensity factors and understanding crack propagation. Specific boundary value problems related to interface cracks were solved between 1963 and 1965, providing insights into stress behavior near crack tips. This historical perspective showcases the advancements in studying crack behavior along interfaces in different materials.

3. Fracture Mechanics Griffith-the grandfather of fracture mechanics- showed that the stresses at the tip of a crack behave as the inverse square-root of the crack length1. He also presented an energetic criterion for crack propagation. The next major step in understanding fracture mechanics takes place when the first term of the asymptotic expansion for the stress and displacements in the neighborhood of a crack tip is developed by Williams2and Irwin3. o o 1.

5. Interface Fracture Mechanics The behavior of the stress and displacements in the neighborhood of a crack tip for a crack along an interface between two dissimilar linear elastic, isotopic and homogeneous materials was determined by Williams5. o r sin( ln ) r sin( ln ) 1 u r r cos( ln ) r cos( ln ) r 1 + + 1 2 1 = = ln 2 2 + + 1 2 3 4 3 plane = = , k 1, 2 shear moduli Poisson s ratios k k = = - k k plane = = , k 1, 2 + + 1 k k 5 5.

6. Interface Fracture Mechanics Between 1963 and 1965, a number of papers appeared solving specific boundary value problems related to interface cracks6-10. The first term of the asymptotic expansion for the stresses was determined. It was noted that the oscillatory stress behavior was relegated to a small region near the crack tip. o 6. Erdogan, F.

7. Interface Fracture Mechanics In [8], this problem was solved by Rice and Sih. The stress intensity factors were written in a different form. But in current notation, they were found as ( ( iK K K + + = = + + = = 22 2 1 ) )( ( ) ) ( ( ) ) i 21 i + + i a a 1 2 2 = = i 1 where Applied stresses in the x1-direction were determined to provide displacement continuity across the interface E E E 3 3 k plane strain 22 (2) 11 (1) 11 2 2 1 2 = = + + = = E 2 k 1 E k + + + + 1 1 E E 2 1 1 1 generalize plane d stress k It was noted that these stress intensity factors no longer represent modes I and II deformation. The in-plane deformation is coupled. 7 8. Rice, J. R., Sih, G.C. Plane problems of cracks in dissimilar media. J. Appl. Mech., 32 (1965) 418-423.

8. Interface Fracture Mechanics In [9], it was found again that stress oscillations were confined to a small distance from the crack tip. It was also found that crack face interpenetration was within a small distance from the crack tip. The region was estimated to be O(10-4)2a. It was noted that this is sufficiently small so that it may be neglected. Thus, solution to these problems may be a good approximation of physical problems. It was mentioned in passing that shear deformation will also produce a small interpenetration zone. This is not the case. In [10], it was stated that for an interface crack subjected to tension, the stress oscillations are confined to a small region. For an interface crack between glass and steel, crack face interpenetration begins at a distance of O(10-7)a from the crack tip10. 9. England, A.H. A crack between dissimilar media. J. Appl. Mech., 32 (1965) 400-402. 10. Erdogan, F. Stress distribution in bonded dissimilar materials with cracks. J. Appl. Mech., 32 (1965) 403-410. 8

9. Interface Fracture Mechanics In [11], again it was shown that the stress oscillations were confined to a small distance from the crack tip. It was also found that crack face interpenetration was also within a small distance from the crack tip. Again shear deformation was neglected. It was pointed out that instead of an interpenetration zone, a contact zone would actually occur. The authors also bring reference [12] to our attention in which some preliminary work was already carried out to obtain the fields. The main contribution of [11] is the relation between the interface energy release rate and the stress intensity factors in two-dimensions.

10. Interface Fracture Mechanics It would appear that as a result of the oscillatory stresses in the neighborhood of the crack tip and crack face interpenetration that the fracture mechanics community lost interest in this subject. In 1971, two papers appeared [13,14] which considered layered material, with an interface crack as a limiting case. In 1976, the finite element method was applied to an interface crack [15]. 13.

11. Interface Fracture Mechanics After this hiatus, Comninou in a series of papers assumes that instead of crack face interpenetration, there is a contact zone of length s between the crack faces. In [16], she shows that for far field applied tension, the length of the contact zone is between 10-7a and 10-4a depending on mechanical properties. The contact zone was smaller than the interpenetration zone. In [17] for pure applied far field shear, it is shown that the contact zone length is smaller than that for pure tension at one crack tip, but 2a/3 at the other crack tip. The side at which the larger contact zone exists depends on material properties and the direction of the shear stress. The small contact zone is larger than the interpenetration zone. 16.

12. Interface Fracture Mechanics Jim Rice Use of the approach developed by Comninou for other geometries is not practical. Instead, in 1988, Rice returns to the problem of an interface crack giving guidance on how to solve the problem. Using Muskhelishvili methods, the potential functions for the interface crack problem are obtained. The tractions along the interface are i Kr 2 ( ( ) ) = = + + K K iK + + i = = 1 2 22 21 = = 0 r Along the crack faces r 4 1 1 (1) i (2) i = = , r u u , r u ( - ) ( ) ir + + i = = + + u u K ( ( ) ) i 2 1 + + i 2 1 2 cosh E E 1 2 12 19.

13.

15. Interface Fracture Mechanics If one wishes to duplicate the crack tip conditions for two bodies with different crack lengths, one must apply different loading conditions to each body.

16.
