Analytical solution for a strained reinforcement layer bonded to lip-shaped crack under remote mode III uniform load and concentrated load.

In this paper, the analytical solution of stress field for a strained reinforcement layer bonded to a lip-shaped crack under a remote mode III uniform load and a concentrated load is obtained explicitly in the series form by using the technical of conformal mapping and the method of analytic continuation. The effects of material combinations, bond of interface and geometric configurations on interfacial stresses generated by eigenstrain, remote load and concentrated load are studied. The results show that the stress concentration and interfacial stresses can be reduced by rational material combinations and geometric configurations designs for different load forms.
