Abstract

The steady state propagation of a semi-infinite crack between two dissimilar viscoelastic solids is considered. By means of the Wiener-Hopf technique, the stress intensity factor is found as a function of the crack tip velocity and the material parameters. Results for an interface crack between an elastic and a viscoelastic medium are obtained as a special case. Various limiting cases are examined as a check on the accuracy of the results. Finally, graphs are presented which examine the salient features of the stress intensity factor.
