Abstract This paper presents a method for determining the dislocation solution in a bi-material half plane and a bi-material infinite strip, which is subsequently used to obtain the mixed-mode stress intensity factors for a corresponding bi-material interface crack. First, the dislocation solution in a bi-material infinite plane is summarized. An array of surface dislocations is then distributed along the free boundary of the half plane and the infinite strip. The dislocation densities of the aforementioned surface dislocations are determined by satisfying the traction-free boundary conditions. After the dislocation solution in the finite domain is achieved, the mixed-mode stress intensity factors for interface cracks are calculated based on the continuous dislocation technique. Results are compared with analytical solution for homogeneous anisotropic media.

In the present work a simple and efficient least squares method is implemented for accurate estimation of notch stress intensity factors (NSIFs) of sharp V-notches. Finite element (FE) stress components near a notch tip is used in the present method for determining the NSIFs. Pure mode I and mixed mode (I/II) examples are considered for numerical investigations. The mixed mode stress components are disintegrated into opening mode and shear mode stress components to separate out the mode I and mode II singularities. Thereafter, least squares method is implemented to calculate mixed mode NSIFs. The present method is easy to incorporate in existing standard finite element codes. The results obtained by the present method are found to be in good agreement with the published data.
