For a stationary long crack: When t 0, Steady-state velocity:
Steady-state channeling cracks
The channel front maintains its shape as it advances, and the cross section (opening) profile behind the front attains the equilibrium shape of a plane-strain crack. Thus, the steady-state energy release rate of a channeling crack can be obtained from the plane strain problem, and the fracture resistance is the film toughness.

Substrate
Three-dimensional analysis is required to determine the shape of the channel front (Nakamura and Kamath, 1992).
The crack reaches a steady state when the length exceeds a few times the film thickness.

A three-dimensional process: crack grows in both parallel and perpendicular directions, with a curved crack front.
Cutting and Channeling
Cutting: a crack growing perpendicular to the interface; a plane strain problem, assuming long in the parallel direction.

The stress singularity exponent, s, depends on the elastic mismatch (Zak and Williams, 1963): 2 2 cos( s ) 2 (1 s) 0 2 s 1 1
Channeling: crack(s) growing parallel to the interface, assuming a constant depth in the perpendicular direction.
Elastic mismatch
For elastic films and substrates, the crack behavior depends on the elastic mismatch between them.
