✦ Synopsis
The present work investigates the problem of multiple cracks on the arc-shaped interface of a semi-cylindrical magneto-electro-elastic layer bonded onto an orthotropic substrate. Continuously distributed dislocation is used to simulate the anti-plane interfacial cracks. The problem is formulated as a Cauchy singular integral equation by integrating the Green's function of an interfacial point dislocation. Both the theoretical derivation and numerical computation are verified in special cases. The effects of the interface end, crack space, layer thickness, stiffness ratio and material orthotropy are surveyed, among which the fracture behavior of the interface end deserves special attention in design.
