Abstract

A complex integral equation has been derived which describes the interaction of a crack with an interface crack as well as the limiting case of a kinked interface crack. With the help of this solution a model of the debonding process has been set up. Critical ratios of the energy release rates of the interface and the matrix material have been calculated for three different material combinations. These values can be used as estimates for interface design.
