Abstract

In this chapter, methods for obtaining the stress intensity factors , interface energy release rate and phase angles are presented for interface cracks between two anisotropic materials . These methods include displacement extrapolation , the conservative interaction energy or M-integral and the Virtual Crack Closure Technique . Although these methods have been formulated with the finite element method in mind, they may be adapted to all numerical techniques which provide field quantities.
