The numerical approach is based on a crack opening displacement relationship, as shown in Fig 3.

( ) f x  and ( ) pp x  are the deformation in the glass/epoxy prepreg and adhesive layers, respectively. The crack opening displacement away from the notch caused by the remote stress can be expressed as below   2 2 2 al al S v x a x E    (2) where al E and al S are the elastic modulus and the remote stress of the Al layer, respectively. The crack opening displacement ( ) br v x caused by bridging stress in Al layer can be calculated 0 ( ) ( , ) a br p p v x v x x dx  (3) The crack opening displacement ( , )p v x x caused by point load is expressed as equation (4) and (5).
