Abstract
Photoelastic evaluation of the stress intensity factor (SIF) for a crack in a bimaterial tangential to the interface is hitherto confined to the use of only a singular stress field equation. In this paper, the multi-parameter stress field equations of Deng are simplified for use by experimentalists to evaluate the stress field parameters by digital photoelasticity using an overdeterministic least-squares technique. A bimaterial Brazillian disc with a central interface crack is selected as the model for study as different mode mixities could be easily simulated by changing the crack orientation angle. The use of SIF evaluation based on a singular stress field equation is found to be inadequate for the problems considered. On the other hand, the use of a multi-parameter stress field equation is quite successful in evaluating the stress field for various mode mixities and for two values of bimaterial constant. It is shown that the new procedure allows data collection from a larger zone, which helps to simplify data collection from experiments.
