Summary The inplane problem of dissimilar isotropic wedges of arbitrary angles that are bonded together along a common edge is considered. The surfaces of the wedges are subjected to traction-displacement or displacement-displacement boundary conditions. The characteristic equation is derived to determine the dependence of the order of the stress singularity on the wedge angles and material constants for plane strain and plane stress problems. Numerical results for several special wedge geometries are presented for different material combinations. The asymptotic behavior of the stresses in the vicinity of the apex is also investigated. Explicit solutions for the order of stress singularity are presented for some special cases.
