Zero thickness crack tip interface elements for a crack normal to the interface between two materials are presented. The elements are shown to have the desired r\*-' (0 < I < 1) singularity in the stress field at the crack tip and are compatible with other singular elements. The stiffness matrices o

is shown that the singularity of stresses near the tip of crack in an elastii: bi-material can be obtained by using degenerate triangular elements, the shape functions of which are derived from those classical isoparametric elements. A four node triangular element is tested on two different samples. The results obtained are compared with those which exist aiready in bibliography.

This paper is concerned with the plane strain problem of a crack that terminates perpendicularly at the interface of a bonded composite. An integral JR,, is proposed. By the asymptotic analysis, it is shown that, so laong as R o is within the K-dominant region, JR0 = KZ,R6Z"+'((1 -u2)/2pL2)H. Here,
This paper describes a numerical procedure to model the crack front evolution of initially arbitrary shaped planar cracks in a three-dimensional solid. The influence of a bimaterial interface on the fracture path of a semi-elliptical surface crack in a three-dimensional structure is examined. The an
Ah&act-A contemporary approach to the analysis of interface cracks in b&material cylinders using finite elements is presented. From results obtained with a commercial finite element code using regular and singular isoparametric elements, three fracture mechanics techniques are considered to study th
## Abstract A numerical method is outlined for determining the movement of a gasβliquid interface in a porous medium following the withdrawal of gas from an underground reservoir. The governing equations for the flow of both gas and the underlying liquid are formulated in terms of the finite elemen
