Abstract
The paper deals with the analysis of the T-effect in the problem of an interface macrocrack interacting with a microvoid in the process zone of the main crack tip. With the aid of the `pseudo-traction-edge-dislocation' method, the interaction problem with the T-effect under the remote field loading conditions can be reduced to singular Fredholm integral equations with Hilbert kernel. After solving the singular integral equations numerically, the T-effect on the main crack tip parameters is analyzed and the numerical results are given in figures.
