Abstract
Although several studies have examined stress singularity at the edge of an interface, few have focused on shear loading. The present paper analyzes a stress singularity in a shear loading that should be useful in the electronic device machining process. In the present study, the enriched finite element method is applied to analyze the intensity of singularity in two-dimensional joints under a shear loading. The stress fields in dissimilar materials (bi- and three-material joints) described by one and two real intensities of singularity are investigated. In addition, the intensity of singularity in the joints with various model geometries and material properties are investigated and discussed.
