Asymptotic solutions for buckling delamination induced crack propagation in the thin film-compliant substrate system

In a thin film-substrate system in-plane compressive stress is commonly generated in the film due to thermal mismatch in operation or fabrication process. If the stress exceeds a critical value, part of the film may buckle out of plane along the defective interface. After buckling delamination, the...
