Abstract

The paper deals with the asymptotic analysis of stresses near interface crack tips in the periodically two-layered elastic composites. The problem is investigated for the plane state of strain within the framework of the homogenized model with microlocal parameters. The angular dependence of stresses at the crack tip is presented for different mechanical and geometrical properties of the composite.
