An investigation of transition from penetration to deflection in the fracture of bi-material interfaces

The problem of determining whether a crack impinging on an interface will penetrate into the substrate or deflect along the interface is vital to the effective design of layered and composite material systems. Of particular interest is the transition between crack propagation by penetration through...
