Abstract
In this investigation, the Stroh formulation is employed to develop the stress and displacement fields in the vicinity of an interface crack between two specially oriented transversely isotropic materials. The lower material is mathematically degenerate. In addition, a conservative integral is employed in conjunction with the finite element method to calculate stress intensity factors. The derived stress and displacement fields are used as auxiliary fields in the M-integral for extraction of the stress intensity factors. As a benchmark problem for this calculation, the asymptotic displacements are prescribed on the boundary of a circular domain. Excellent numerical results are obtained.
