The conventional formulation used in the past for problems involving interface cracks leads to a physical contradiction: The two sides of the crack are assumed to be free of tractions in the formulation, but the crack faces are seen to overlap after the solution is constructed. This unsatisfactory feature can be eliminated by introducing contact zones at the tips of an interface crack. The present article investigates the effect of friction in the contact zones for loads that start from zero and are increased monotonically. As an application, shear loading is considered, and the problem is reduced to a singular integral equation with a Cauchy-type kernel which is solved numerically. The results show that one of the contact zones is large an...
