Abstract

This paper gives an asymptotic analysis of the elastic stress singularity at the junction of three dissimilar materials. For simplicity, the anti-plane mode of deformation is considered. The analysis can be used to address the influence of the geometry of the junction and the material properties on the strength of the singularity.
