Weight function approach to study a crack propagating along a bimaterial
interface under asymmetric loading in orthotropic solids
   [PDF]

L. Pryce, L. Morini, G. Mishuris
This paper considers a steady-state crack propagating along an interface between dissimilar orthotropic materials under an asymmetric load. Although most of the known results so far deal with symmetric loading, it has been shown recently that a significant asymmetry in the applied loading may lead to a pronounced effect in terms of the values of the SIFs. The aim of the paper is to extend these results from the static case to a moving crack. In particular, we show the significance of the asymmetry of the loading for computing the energy release rate.
