“…They have been used in the analysis of crack problems in complex domains containing an arbitrary number of wedges and layers separated by imperfect interfaces (Mishuris, 1997a,b); the resulting singular integral equations with fixed point singularities have been analysed by Duduchava (1979), based on the theory of linear singular operators (Gohberg and Krein, 1960). More recently, singular integral equations have been applied to problems involving interfacial cracks in both isotropic (Piccolroaz and Mishuris, 2013;Mishuris et al, 2014) and anisotropic bimaterials (Yu and Suo, 2000;Morini et al, 2013a) and also in thermodiffusive bimaterials Morini and Piccolroaz (2015). This paper extends the singular integral equation approach to fracture in an anisotropic bimaterial containing an imperfect interface.…”
