Abstract

The present work proposes a Dugdale type model to theoretically predict the multiple cracks of a residually tensile stressed thin film on a ductile substrate. The results show that there exists a critical value, Rc, of the cracking resistance number, R. When R < R, the film > c cracks and the normalized crack spacing is determined by cracking resistance number and the stress ratio of the residual stress to the yield strength of the substrate.
