Abstract
The work studies and compares different approaches suitable for predictions of the crack deflection (bifurcation) in ceramic laminates containing thin layers under high residual stresses and discuss a suitability and limits of using of the asymptotic analysis for such problems. The thickness of the thin compressive layers where the crack deflection occurs is only one order higher than the crack extension lengths considered within the solution. A purely FEM based calculation of the energy and stress conditions, necessary for the crack propagation, serves as the reference solution to the problem. The asymptotic analysis is used after for calculations of the same quantities (especially of energy release rate – ERR). This concept enables semi-analytical calculations of ERR or changes in potential energy induced by the crack extensions of different lengths and directions. Such approach can save a large amount of simulations and time compared with the pure FEM based calculations. It was found that the asymptotic analysis provides a good agreement for investigations of the crack increments enough far from the adjacent interfaces but for longer extensions (of length above 1/5-1/10 of the distance from the interface) starts more significantly to deviate from the correct solution. Involvement of the higher order terms in the asymptotic solution or other improvement of the model is thus advisable.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
