Numerical study on contact zone in an interfacial crack

This thesis presents an analysis for contact zone near an interfacial crack tip by using the commercial FEM software ANSYS 5.0 and 5.3. The numerical study with various parameters extended from elastic to elastic-plastic range. In the elastic range, the study shows that the contact zone occurs when...
