Within the generalized plane elasticity framework, the computation of singularities (stress concentration), together with a matched asymptotic expansion method, allow to build solutions to various problems involving a small perturbation: rigid inclusion, micro-void,… Taking a micro-crack as small perturbation brings to the analysis of brittle fracture and to the asymptotics of the energy release rate. A Griffith criterion divides the singularities into two classes, namely the strong and weak singularities. As an example, the case of a cracked ply embedded in a stratified composite is examined. With given assumptions on the toughness of the components and of the interface, the crack can propagate to become a delamination crack (i.e. lying at the interface between the components).
