In this paper, the dynamic response of a penny-shaped interface crack in bonded dissimilar homogeneous half-spaces is studied. It is assumed that the two materials are bonded together with such a inhomogeneous interlayer that makes the elastic modulus in the direction perpendicular to the crack surface is continuous throughout the space. The crack surfaces are assumed to be subjected to torsional impact loading. Laplace and Hankel integral transforms are applied combining with a dislocation density function to reduce the mixed boundary value problem into a singular integral equation with a generalized Cauchy kernel in Laplace domain. By solving the singular integral equation numerically and using a numerical Laplace inversion technique, the dynamic stress intensity factors are obtained. The influences of material properties and interlayer thickness on the dynamic stress intensity factor are investigated.
