Abstract
The antiplane strain problem of two dissimilar anisotropic composite wedges of arbitrary angles that are bonded together along a common edge is considered. The surfaces of the wedges can be subjected to traction-traction, traction-displacement or displacement-displacement boundary conditions. The dependence of the order of the stress singularity on the wedge angles and material constants is studied. The angular distribution of stresses at the apex and the exact full field stress solutions are also investigated. Explicit solutions for the order of stress singularity are obtained for some special cases. It is found that the order of the stress singularity is always real for the antiplane dissimilar anisotropic wedge problem. This is quite different from the in-plane case, in which the complex type of stress singularity might exist. © 1989.
