In this paper, the fracture mechanics problem for an arbitrarily oriented crack crossing the interface in a functionally graded layered structure is investigated. The elastic modulus is assumed to be continuous at the interface, but its derivative may be discontinuous. Applying the superposition principle and Fourier integral transform, the stress fields and displacement fields are derived. A group of auxiliary functions defined in both layers are introduced and then the mixed-mode crack problem is turned into solving a group of singular integral equations. The mixed-mode stress intensity factors (SIFs) are obtained by solving the singular integral equations. The influences of the material nonhomogeneity parameter, normalized crack length and crack angle on the SIFs are investigated. It is found that the mixed-mode SIFs can be affected greatly by the crack angle. Moreover, the mixed-mode SIFs usually attain their extremum when the crack tips get to the interface during one crack moves from one layer into another layer. The present work may form the basic work for establishing a multi-layered fracture mechanics model of FGMs with an arbitrarily oriented crack and general mechanical properties.
► A generally oriented crack crossing interface in a FGM layered structure is studied.
► Crack angle may affect SIFs greatly. It means declined crack should be studied.
► Mixed-mode SIFs attain extremum at interface as a crack moves through interface.
► This work forms base to build a multi-layer model for general FGMs crack problems.
