Abstract
The problem of a plane strain crack lying along an interface between a rigid substrate and an elastic-plastic material has been studied. The elastic-plastic material exhibits pressure-sensitive yielding and plastic volumetric deformation. Two-term expansions of the asymptotic solutions for both closed frictionless and open crack-tip models have been obtained. The Mises effective stress in the interfacial crack-tip fields is a decreasing function of the pressure-sensitivity in both open and closed-crack tip models. The variable-separable solution exists for most pressure-sensitive materials and the limit values for existence of the variable-separable solution vary with the strain-hardening exponents. The governing equations become singular as the pressure-sensitivity limit is approached. Strength of the leading stress singularity is equal 1/(n+1) for both crack-tip models, regardless of the pressure-sensitivity. The second-order fields have been solved as an additional eigenvalue problem and the elasticity terms do not enter the second-order solutions as n≥2. The second exponents for the closed crack model are negative for the weak strain hardening, whereas the negative second-order eigenvalue in the open crack model slightly grows with the pressure-sensitivity. The second-order solutions are of significance in characterising the crack-tip fields. The leading-order solution contains the dominant mode I components for both open and closed crack-tip models when the materials do not have substantial strain hardening. The second-order solutions are generally mode-mixed and depend significantly on the pressure-sensitivity.
