Abstract

A numerical method is developed to study the bimaterial interface problem in Neo-Hookean materials under plane stress conditions. Comparison is made with the analytical predictions for the asymptotic field of the problem. The range of dominance of the asymptotic solution at different load levels is established and the amplitudes of the crack-tip asymptotic field are related to the far field loading. The numerical model is extended to analyze the experiments conducted on specimens with an edge crack at the interface between two dissimilar Solithane plates that are characterized by Mooney-Rivlin material behavior.
