Mixed-Mode Interfacial Fracture Mechanics

Major advances have been made in the mechanics of interface fracture. An account of a pragmatic engineering methodology, which allows the fracture resistance of interfaces to be measured and utilized, has appeared in a Proceeding edited by Ruhle, Evans, Ashby and Hirth [1] and in a comprehensive article by Hutchinson and Suo [2]. The plasticity aspects of interface cracks have received some attention (Shih [3]). Small-scale yielding is discussed.
