In the present paper, the mixed-mode Dugdale model is applied to investigate the plastic zone size and the crack tip opening displacement of an interface crack between two dissimilar layers. In the analysis, both normal and shear stresses are assumed to exist in the plastic zones and satisfy the Von...
