Abstract
The interface crack was analyzed in two recent papers which considered applied tension and shear fields separately. The unrealistic oscillatory singularities and the ensuing material interpenetration were eliminated in these solutions by assuming small frictionless contact zones near the crack tips. The present paper presents a solution for the interface crack under combined normal and shear tractions. Both tensile and compressive normal tractions are considered and numerical results of the extents of the contact zones, shear stress-intensity factors, and interface crack opening profiles are presented.Keywords
