EQUATIONS

It is noted that, our analysing m e t h o d is only suitable to the cases where b o t h nl and
n2 take integer values. In w h a t follows a interfacial crack p r o b l e m with nl -- 5, n2 = 3 will
be investigated in detail.
For the first-order near-tip field, its governing equation is (2.19), in which n = nl
within 0 _< 0 < ~r while n = n2 in 0 < 0 < 7r. T h e corresponding b o u n d a r y condition on
crack faces can be expressed by the stress function as

The solution of the first-order near-tip fields has been obtained by Xia and W a n g Is]
using the normalization max{5~. } = 1, shown in Fig.2(a) and Fig.3(a), .The results proved
t h a t the singular exponent Cl is determined by the lower hardening material (i.e. the material
with larger n), i.e. Cl -- 1 / ( n l + 1).
