✦ Synopsis

The interfacial stress intensity factors for three types of sandwich specimens: the single edge crack tensile specimen, the three point bend specimen and the four point shear specimen were obtained by the finite element analysis and compared with the asymptotic solutions. The results show that the geometric effect for mode II specimen is larger than mode I specimen, The limit curves for geometry factor equal to 1.05 were obtained to indicate the usable range of validity of the asymptotic solution.
