description	Nowadays, thin interphases are used for modern technology. A composite structure obtained in such a way exhibits a wide variety of thermal and mechanical properties. In this thesis, imperfect transmission conditions (ITCs) are discussed based on the finite element method (FEM) for a soft elasto-plastic interphase in a plane stress state, as well as thin reactive heat-conducting interphases, where the transmission conditions are nonlinear. The ITCs of a thin reactive two-dimensional interphase between two bonded materials in a dissimilar strip have been investigated. The validity of the transmission conditions for the heat conducting interphases has been analysed for three formulations of a reactive layer: with no source formulation, with constant source formulation, and with a temperature-dependent source formulation. In addition, the ITCs were evaluated in the most general form for several cases, demonstrating the high efficiency of the approach. This showed that it is possible to reconstruct the full solution inside the interphase using the information available for the respective imperfect interface of zero thickness. For the case of mechanical problems, it explains a thin elasto-plastic interphase layer, which is situated between two different elastic media.
