Abstract
The method of distributed dislocations is used to formulate the plane problem of a crack between a circular elastic inclusion and an elastic ally dissimilar matrix. The resulting singular integral equations are solved numerically. As examples, solutions are presented for the crack -tip stress intensity factors and energy release rate for a crack unde r conditions of far-field tension and shear, for cases where one of Du ndurs' constants (beta) vanishes.
