( Gss )sequential E0 /(σ 2t ) = 2 f (2t / L) − f (t / L)

With Gss E0 /(σ 2t ) = f (t / L) for cracks with spacing 2L (see previous slide),

Note that we assume a new set of cracks is nucleated
and bisects the previous set of cracks—thus it is the
sequential G that is relevant.
Note, t/L increases roughly linearly with stress once
the crack spacing exceeds about twice the layer
thickness. The spacing does not correlate with
stress for large spacing—this behavior is
dominated by initial flaw statistics which is not
considered here.

Cracks will not tunnel
in a homogeneous, isotropic
material because it is more
favorable for them to spread

If the crack is in a layer and
the sides are along an interface,
there are three possibilities:
(i) the crack is arrested along the sides
(ii) the crack penetrates the interface
(iii) the crack deflects into the interface
We first consider the stress field near the crack tip
in Fig. A for the tip at the interface. The stress field
is symmetric about the crack assuming the loading
is symmetric. The stresses have the form:
σ ij =
k
fij (θ )
(2π r )λ
where the dimensionless functions fij (θ ) depend
on the Dundurs' mismatch parameters, α and β ,
as does λ --see to the left.
Note that k has units of stress ilength λ = Paimλ !!

Assume ψ 0 > 0 so kinked crack propagates into material #2.
K I & K II are linear functions of K1 & K 2 . Dimensional analysis implies:

where the aij (ω , α ) depend on ω and the first Dundurs' parameter α, but independent of a.

Let br (η ) & bθ (η ) be components of an edge dislocation at z0 . The problem
noted in the figure where the dislocation interacts with a semi-infinite crack can
be solved in closed form. The tractions acting on the plane at angle ω
at a point z = te − iω are given by (see He & Hutch, 1989)

These are called Cauchy-type integral equations. There are powerful numerial methods
for solving these equations (Erdogan and Gupta, 1972, Q. Appl. Math. 29, 525-534).
The desired stress intensity factors, K I and K II , and thus the coefficients, aij , are simply
related to the distribution of the dislocations as t → a.
Alternatively, finite element methods could be used to obtain the intensity factors and
coefficients. However, given the interest in all orientations ω , integral equation methods
are probably more efficient and somewhat more accurate.
