Stress transfer through fully bonded interface of layered materials

Plane strain elastic theory of stress transfer in multi-layered materials is formulated and is used to investigate the stress distribution of a coating system under a tensile load. When the substrate layer is subjected to a uniaxial load, the load is transferred to the coating through interfacial shearing stress. With the aid of a plane assumption, decoupled governing equations are obtained, and the general solution of the displacement field can...
