Abstract: For a compression-shear mixed mode interface crack, it is difficult to solve the stress and strain fields considering the material viscosity, the crack-tip singularity, the frictional effect, and the mixed loading level. In this paper, a mechanical model of the dynamic propagation interface crack for the compression-shear mixed mode is proposed using an elastic-viscoplastic constitutive model. The governing equations of propagation crack interface at the crack-tip are given. The numerical analysis is performed for the interface crack of the compression-shear mixed mode by introducing a displacement function and some boundary conditions. The distributed regularities of stress field of the interface crack-tip are discussed with several special parameters. The final results show that the viscosity effect and the frictional contact effect on the crack surface and the mixed-load parameter are important factors in studying the mixed mode interface cracktip fields. These fields are controlled by the viscosity coefficient, the Mach number, and the singularity exponent.

Key words: Galerkin method, the dynamic equations for Koiter shells, existence and uniqueness, compression-shear mixed mode interface crack, dynamic propagation, viscosity effect, elastic-viscoplastic material, friction effect, mixed-load parameter
