Abstract
This paper presents an exact solution for the transverse interface crack in the plane strain case. The crack is perpendicular to the interface and in one material. The exact complex stress functions are first obtained with some unknown constants. The satisfactions of all boundary conditions are then checked, the condition at infinity is considered and the unknown constants are determined. Further study may focus on the case with different shear moduli and the influence of the large deformation.
