An analytical study investigating the local buckling response of a circular delamination along the interface of an elastic layer and a dissimilar substrate with finite thickness is presented. The solution method utilizes the stability equations of linear theory of elasticity under axisymmetry conditions. In-plane loading and the presence of mixed boundary conditions on the bond-plane result in a homogeneous system of coupled singular integral equations of the second kind with Cauchy-type kernels. Numerical solution of these integral equations leads to the determination of local buckling stress and its sensitivity to geometric parameters and material properties. [S0021-8936(00)01503-8]
