Problems of collinear cracks between bonded dissimilar materials under antiplane concentrated forces

In this paper problems of collinear cracks between bonded dissimilar materials under antiplane concentrated forces are dealt with. General solutions of the problems are formulated by applying extended Schwarz principle integrated with the analysis of the singularity of complex stress functions. Closed-form solutions of several typical problems are obtained and the stress intensity factors are given. These solutions include a series of original results and some results of previous researches. It is found that under symmetrical loads the solutions for the dissimilar materials are the same as those for the homogeneous materia7]
