Abstract: The pseudoª²traction method is combined with the edge
dislocation method to solve the interactive problem of an interface crack with
subinterface cracks in dissimilar anisotropic composite materials. First, the fundamental
solutions for an interface crack loaded by normal or tangential tractions on both crack
surfaces and the fundamental solutions for anedge dislocation beneath the interface in
dissimilar anisotropic composite body are derived. Then, the interactive problem is
reduced to a system of singular integral equations, which can be solved numerically with
the aid of the Chebyshev numerical integration and Chebyshev polynomial technique.
It is found that the material mismatch has a remarkable influence on the cracks
interaction and the model I stress intensity factor plays a dominant role in the energy
release rate.
