Abstrakt: Bifurcation of cracks in symmetrical laminated two-component composites was analyzed. Geometric factors limiting this effect were established. The bifurcation area is shown to be determined by the following parameters: number of layers, cooling temperature range, elastic constants, and thermal expansion coefficients of the layers. Bifurcation conditions in the composite specimen with a given number of layers are compared with corresponding conditions for the specimen of the fixed total thickness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
