Anti-plane analysis of an orthotropic strip weakened by several moving cracks

In this paper several finite cracks with constant length (Yoffe-type crack) propagating in an orthotropic strip were studied. The distributed dislocation technique is used to carry out stress analysis in an orthotropic strip containing moving cracks under anti-plane loading. The solution of a moving screw dislocation is obtained in an orthotropic strip by means of Fourier transform method. The stress components reveal the familiar Cauchy singularity at the location of dislocation. The solution is employed to derive integral equations for a strip weakened by moving cracks. Finally several examples are solved and the numerical results for the stress intensity factor are obtained. The influences of the geometric parameters, the thickness of the orthotropic strip, the crack size and speed have significant effects on the stress intensity factors of crack tips which are displayed graphically.     

Stress analysis in a sheet with multiple cracks

The stress field due to the presence of a Volterra dislocation in an isotropic elastic sheet is obtained. The stress components exhibit the familiar Cauchy type singularity at dislocation location. The solution is utilized to construct integral equations for elastic sheets weakened by multiple embedded or edge cracks. The cracks are perpendicular to the sheet boundary and applied traction is such that crack closing may not occur. The integral equations are solved numerically and stress intensity factors (SIFs) are determined on a crack edges.     

Elastodynamic analysis of a cracked orthotropic half-plane

The solution of elastodynamic volterra-type dislocation in an orthotropic half-plane is obtained by means of the Fourier transforms. The distributed dislocation technique is used to construct integral equations for an orthotropic half-plane weakened by cracks where the domain is under time-harmonic anti plane traction. These equations are of Cauchy singular type at the location of dislocation which is solved numerically to obtain the dislocation density on the faces of the cracks. The dislocation densities are employed to determine stress intensity factors for multiple smooth cracks. Several examples are solved and the stress intensity factors for multiple cracks with different configuration are obtained.

Multiple moving cracks in a functionally graded strip

This paper considers several finite moving cracks in a functionally graded material subjected to anti-plane deformation. The distributed dislocation technique is used to carry out stress analysis in a functionally graded strip containing moving cracks under anti-plane loading. The Galilean transformation is employed to express the wave equations in terms of coordinates that are attached to the moving crack. By utilizing the Fourier sine transformation technique the stress fields are obtained for a functionally graded strip containing a screw dislocation. The stress components reveal the familiar Cauchy singularity at the location of dislocation. The solution is employed to derive integral equations for a strip weakened by several moving cracks. Numerical examples are provided to show the effects of material properties, the crack length and the speed of the crack propagating upon the stress intensity factor.

Anti-plane stress analysis of dissimilar sectors with multiple defects

In this article, the anti-plane deformation of a typical dissimilar sector consists of two sub-sectors attached to each other on one circular edge is studied. The solution of a Volterra type screw dislocation problem in the sector is obtained through finite Fourier cosine transform. Exact closed-form solutions for the displacement and stress fields are also presented. Next, using a distributed dislocation method, integral equations of the sectors weakened by cracks and cavities under an anti-plane traction are obtained. The defects are assumed to be located only in one of the sub-sector regions. The obtained equations for the latter problem are of the Cauchy singular type and have been solved numerically. Several examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and applicability of the proposed solution procedure. The geometric and force singularities of the stress field are studied and compared to those reported in the literature.     

Anti-plane elastodynamic analysis of cracked graded orthotropic layers with viscous damping

Stress analysis is carried out in a graded orthotropic layer containing a screw dislocation undergoing time-harmonic deformation. Energy dissipation in the layer is modeled by viscous damping. The stress fields are Cauchy singular at the location of dislocation. The dislocation solution is utilized to derive integral equations for multiple interacting cracks with any location and orientation in the layer. These equations are solved numerically thereby obtaining the dislocation density function on the crack surfaces and stress intensity factors of cracks. The dependencies of stress intensity factors of cracks on the excitation frequency of applied traction and material properties of the layer are investigated. The analysis allows the determination of natural frequencies of a cracked layer. Furthermore, the interactions of two cracks having various configurations are studied.     

Stress analysis of orthotropic planes weakened by cracks

The stress fields in an orthotropic infinite plane containing Volterra type climb and glide edge dislocations are derived. The dislocation solutions are utilized to formulate integral equations for dislocation density functions on the surfaces of smooth cracks.

The results are used to evaluate modes I and II stress intensity factors for multiple smooth cracks.     

Mixed mode axisymmetric cracks in transversely isotropic infinite solid cylinders

The present study examined mixed mode cracking in a transversely isotropic infinite cylinder. The solutions to axisymmetric Volterra climb and glide dislocations in an infinite circular cylinder of the transversely isotropic material are first obtained. The solutions are represented in terms of the biharmonic stress function. Next, the problem of a transversely isotropic infinite cylinder with a set of concentric axisymmetric penny-shaped, annular, and circumferential cracks is formulated using the distributed dislocation technique. Two types of loadings are considered: (i) the lateral cylinder is loaded by two self-equilibrating distributed shear stresses; (ii) the curved surface of the cylinder is under the action of a distributed normal stress. The resulting integral equations are solved by using a numerical scheme to compute the dislocation density on the borders of the cracks. The dislocation densities are employed to determine stress intensity factors for axisymmetric interacting cracks. Finally, a good amount of examples are solved to depict the effect of crack type and location on the stress intensity factors at crack tips and interaction between cracks. Numerical solutions for practical materials are presented and the effect of transverse isotropy on stress intensity factors is discussed.     

The two-dimensional stressed state of a multiconnected anisotropic body with cavities and cracks

We present a method of determining the two-dimensional generalized stress-strain state and the stress intensity factors for an anisotropic body with cylindrical cavities and plane cracks. The method is based on the use of generalized complex potentials, conformal mappings, the method of least squares, and numerical passage to the limit to determine the stress intensity factors. We apply the method to study the stress-strain state and the change in stress intensity factors as functions of the geometric and elastic characteristics of an orthotropic cylinder with one or two cracks, an infinite anisotropic body with elliptic cavities and cracks, and an infinite body with a curvilinear cavity.

The contact problem of elasticity theory for bodies with cracks

The plane contact problem of a stamp impressed into an elastic half-plane containing arbitrarily arranged rectilinear subsurface cracks is formulated and investigated by asymptotic methods. Partial or total overlapping of the crack edges is assumed. The problem reduces to a system of linear singular integrodifferential equations with side conditions in the form of equalities and inequalities. An analytic solution of the problem is obtained in the form of asymptotic power series /1/ in the relative dimension of the greatest crack. Dependences of the first terms of the asymptotic expansions of the desired functions on the mutual location of the cracks and the contact domains, the pressure and friction stress distributions, and the crack size and orientation are determined. Numerical results are presented.

Strip-saturation model for piezoelectric plane weakened by two collinear cracks with coalesced interior zones

A strip-saturation model is proposed for a transversely isotropic piezoelectric plane weakened by two collinear equal cracks, when developed saturation zones at the interior tips of the cracks get coalesced. The plane is subjected to unidirectional, normal (to the crack length) in-plane tension and electric displacement. The developed saturation zones are arrested by distributing over their rims the normal, cohesive, unidirectional saturation-limit electrical displacement. The solution is obtained using Stroh formulation and complex variable technique. Closed form expressions are derived for crack opening displacement (COD), crack potential drop (COP), field intensity factors, length of saturation zone, energy release rate. Case study carried out for PZT-4 to show the effects of inter-crack distance on the stress intensity factor. The variations of energy release rates are plotted for PZT-4, PZT-5H and BaTiO₃ to study the effects of the geometry of the two cracks.
