Abstract
In this work. the asymptotic fields near a crack tip propagating dynamically under plane strain conditions at a ductile-brittle interface are derived. The ductile material is taken to obey the $J_2$ flow theory of plasticity with linear isotropic strain hardening. The asymptotic solution is assumed to be of the variable-separable form with a power singularity in the radial coordinate from the crack tip. Results have been generated for ditferent bi-material combinations over a range of crack speeds. At a given crack speed. two solutions resembling the Mode I and Mode II asymptotic fields in a homogeneous material are obtained for all strain hardening between a lower and upper bound. The effect of mismatch in elastic stiffness and density. as well as strain hardening of the ductile phase on the singularity strength, near-tip mixities and the angular stress and velocity functions are examined. Attention is focused on the influence of crack speed on the above features of the asymptotic solution.
