In this paper is presented the new approach to asymptotic analysis of the stress and strain fields around a crack tip that is propagating dynamically along a bimaterial interface. Through asymptotic analysis the problem is being reduced to solving the Riemann-Hilbert's problem, what yields the strain potential that is used for determination of the strain field around a crack tip. The considered field is that of a dynamically propagating crack with a speed that is between zero and shear wave speed of the less stiffer of the two materials, bound along the interface. Using the new approach in asymptotic analysis of the strain field around a tip of a dynamically propagating crack and possibilities offered by the Mathematica programming package, the results are obtained that are compared to both experimental and numerical results on the dynamic interfacial fracture known from the literature. This comparison showed that it is necessary to apply the complete expression obtained by asymptotic analysis of optical data and not only its first term as it was done in previous analyses.

Steady-state quasi-static crack growth along a bimaterial interface is analyzed under Mode III, small-scale yielding conditions using a finite element procedure. The interface is formed by an elastic-plastic material and an elastic substrate. The top elastic-plastic material is assumed to obey the J2 incremental theory of plasticity. It undergoes isotropic hardening with either a bilinear uniaxial response or a power-law response. The results obtained from the full-field numerical analysis compare very well with the analytical asymptotic results obtained by Castan˜eda and Mataga (1991), which forms one of the first studies on this subject. The validity of the separable form for the asymptotic solution assumed in their analysis is investigated. The range of dominance of the asymptotic fields is examined. Field variations are obtained for a power-law hardening elastic-plastic material. It is seen that the stresses are lower for a stiffer substrate. The potential of the bimaterial system to sustain slow stable crack growth along the interface is studied. It is found that the above potential is larger if the elastic substrate is more rigid with respect to the elastic-plastic material.
