Abstract
Both conservative line and area integrals are derived from the Betti reciprocal principle to determine the stress intensity factor for a bimaterial strip. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of the methods. Several mesh types have been exploited to examine the effect of meshing on the results. Stress intensity factors obtained by means of the line integral vary somewhat between paths. Those found by means of the area integral have the same value on different paths.
