The breaking of a non-homogeneous fiber embedded in an infinite non-homogeneous medium

The torsion of an infinite non-homogeneous elastic cylindrical fiber, containing a penny-shaped crack embedded in an infinite non-homogeneous elastic material is considered. The cylinder and elastic medium have different shear moduli. Using integral transformation techniques the solution of the problem is reduced to the solution of dual integral equations. Later on the solution of the dual integral equations is transformed into the solution of a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind, which is solved numerically. Closed form expressions are obtained for the stress intensity factor and numerical values for the stress intensity factors are graphed to demonstrate the effect of non-homogeneity of the fiber and infinite medium. In the end the stress singularity is obtained when the crack touches the infinite non-homogeneous medium (matrix).

Debonding of an elastic inhomogeneity of arbitrary shape in anti-plane shear

We investigate the anti-plane shear problem of a curvilinear crack lying along the interface of an arbitrarily shaped elastic inhomogeneity embedded in an infinite matrix subjected to uniform stresses at infinity. Complex variable and conformal mapping techniques are used to derive an analytical solution in series form. The problem is first reduced to a non-homogeneous Riemann–Hilbert problem, the solution of which can be obtained by evaluating the associated Cauchy integral. A set of linear algebraic equations is obtained from the compatibility condition imposed on the resulting analytic function defined in the inhomogeneity and its Faber series expansion. Each of the unknown coefficients in the corresponding analytic functions can then be uniquely determined by solving the linear algebraic equations, which are written concisely in matrix form. The resulting analytical solution is then used to quantify the displacement jump across the debonded section of the interface as well as the traction distribution along the bonded section of the interface. In addition, our solution allows us to obtain mode-III stress intensity factors at the two crack tips. The solution to the anti-plane problem of a partially debonded elliptical inhomogeneity containing a confocal crack is also derived using a similar method.     

Interaction between three moving Griffith cracks at the interface of two dissimilar elastic media

The paper deals with the interaction between three Griffith cracks propagating under antiplane shear stress at the interface of two dissimilar infinite elastic half-spaces. The Fourier transform technique is used to reduce the elastodynamic problem to the solution of a set of integral equations which has been solved by using the finite Hilbert transform technique and Cooke’s result. The analytical expressions for the stress intensity factors at the crack tips are obtained. Numerical values of the interaction effect have been computed for and results show that interaction effects are either shielding or amplification depending on the location of each crack with respect to other and crack tip spacing.

Contact of shells with a sharp linear stamp of finite length

The action of a plane, absolutely rigid stamp on a transversely isotropic shell is investigated. The use of the equations of shells with finite shear stiffness enables the correct formulation of the problem of the action on a shell by a stamp of fixed length. The problem is reduced to an integral equation. Applying the Fourier transform, the kernel of the integral equation is represented in the form of an expansion with respect to Chebyshev polynomials. By the representation of the solution of the integral equation in the form of a product, of a series of Chebyshev polynomials and a function that takes into account the singularities of the solution at the boundary of the contact zone, the considered problem is reduced to the solving of an infinite system of linear algebraic equations, whose coefficients have been determined by the methods of numerical integration. As an example a problem for a cylindrical shell has been solved.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Prikladnaya Mekhanika, No. 20, pp. 59–63, 1989.

Impact response of a cracked layer embedded in a composite

The impact response of a laminate composite with a crack or flaw normal to the interface is studied in terms of the intensification of the dynamic stresses around the crack border. Analytically, the laminate is modeled by a single layer with the crack sandwiched between two other layers of dissimilar material. Fourier and Laplace transforms are employed such that the problem reduces to the solution of a system of dual integral equations. Numerical results for the dynamic stress intensity factor are obtained by solving a Fredholm integral equation. The dynamic stress intensity factors are shown to fluctuate as a function of time, reaching a maximum that depends on the elastic properties of the composite and the flaw size.Institute of Fracture and Solid Mechanics, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennysylvania 18015.

Four coplanar Griffith cracks moving in an infinitely long elastic strip under antiplane shear stress

This paper concerns with the problem of determining the anti-plane dynamic stress distributions around four coplanar finite length Griffith cracks moving steadily with constant velocity in an infinitely long finite width strip. The two-dimensional Fourier transforms have been used to reduce the mixed boundary value problem to the solution of five integral equations. These integral equations have been solved using the finite Hilbert transform technique to obtain the analytic form of crack opening displacement and stress intensity factors. Numerical results have also been depicted graphically.     

The wave field generated by a centre of rotation in an unbounded elastic medium with a semi-infinite conical crack

The dynamic stress intensity factor at the edge of a semi-infinite conical crack when the medium is loaded by a non-stationary centre of rotation is determined. A centre of rotation is understood to be a set of four forces of equal magnitude that act in the same plane and form pairs having the same direction of rotation.¹ If the magnitude of these forces is time dependent, i.e., their application is non-stationary, they form a non-stationary centre of rotation. The solution of the problem required the use of methods of integral transformations and discontinuous solutions, which reduced the problem to an integral differential equation in Laplace transform space. The combined use of the orthogonal polynomial method and time discretization to solve the equation enabled a formula for the stress intensity factor to be obtained.     

The Elementary Solution of Triple Integral Equations and The Solution of Triple Series Equations Involving Associated Legendre Polynomials and their Application

A method is developed for the formal solution of an important class of triple integral equations involving Bessel functions. The solution of the triple integral equations is reduced to two simultaneous Fredholm integral equations and the results obtained are simpler than those of other authors and also superior for the purposes of solution by iteration. In the same manner the formal solution of triple series equations involving associated Legendre polynomials is presented. The solution of the problem is reduced to that of solving a Fredholm integral equation of the first kind. Finally to illustrate the application of the results an electrostatic problem is discussed.     

Self-similar solution of the plane problem of the evolution of a hydraulic fracture crack in an elastic medium

The plane problem of the evolution of a hydraulic fracture crack in an elastic medium is considered. It is established that a self-similar solution is only possible at a constant rate of fluid injection. The solution for the value of the crack opening is presented in the form of a series expansion in Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind, and expansion coefficients are obtained as a solution of the algebraic set of equations which arise when projecting the balance equation for injected fluid mass on Chebyshev polynomials. When there is no part of the region unfilled with fluid (a fluid lag), the gradient of the crack opening at the crack tip turns out to be singular when the finiteness of the medium stress intensity factor is taken into account. According to the estimate made, the rate of convergence of the series expansion for the solution in Chebyshev polynomials is fairly rapid for a small injection intensity.     

Nonlocal diffusion,a Mittag-Leffler function and a two-dimensional Volterra integral equation

In this paper we consider a particular class of two-dimensional singular Volterra integral equations. Firstly we show that these integral equations can indeed arise in practice by considering a diffusion problem with an output flux which is nonlocal in time; this problem is shown to admit an analytic solution in the form of an integral. More crucially, the problem can be re-characterized as an integral equation of this particular class. This example then provides motivation for a more general study: an analytic solution is obtained for the case when the kernel and the forcing function are both unity. This analytic solution, in the form of a series solution, is a variant of the Mittag-Leffler function. As a consequence it is an entire function. A Gronwall lemma is obtained. This then permits a general existence and uniqueness theorem to be proved.     

The dual integral equation method for solving the heat conduction equation for an unbounded plate

The solution of the two-dimensional nonstationary heat conduction equation in axially symmetrical cylindrical coordinates for an unbounded plate is determined in this paper. A solution of the problem is given in the form of functional series, for which every term of a series represents an unknown function of a second kind integral equation. A new type of dual integral equations is used to solve a given boundary-value problem with the help of a Laplace transform and separation of variables.     

Application of fuzzy differential transform method for solving fuzzy Volterra integral equations

This paper deals with the solutions of fuzzy Volterra integral equations with separable kernel by using fuzzy differential transform method (FDTM). If the equation considered has a solution in terms of the series expansion of known functions, this powerful method catches the exact solution. To this end, we have obtained several new results to solve mentioned problem when FDTM has been applied. In order to show this capability and robustness, some fuzzy Volterra integral equations are solved in detail as numerical examples.     

An asymptotic method of solving transient dynamic contact problems of the theory of elasticity for a strip

An asymptotic method is proposed for solving transient dynamic contact problems of the theory of elasticity for a thin strip. The solution of problems by means of the integral Laplace transformation (with respect to time) and the Fourier transformation (with respect to the longitudinal coordinate) reduces to an integral equation in the form of a convolution of the first kind in the unknown Laplace transform of contact stresses under the punch. The zeroth term of the asymptotic form of the solution of the integral equation for large values of the Laplace parameter is constructed in the form of the superposition of solutions of the corresponding Wiener-Hopf integral equations minus the solution of the corresponding integral equation on the entire axis. In solving the Wiener-Hopf integral equations, the symbols of the kernel of the integral equation in the complex plane is presented in special form — in the form of uniform expansion in terms of exponential functions. The latter enables integral equations of the second kind to be obtained for determining the Laplace-Fourier transform of the required contact stresses, which, in turn, is effectively solved by the method of successive approximations. After Laplace inversion of the zeroth term of the asymptotic form of the solution of the integral equations, the asymptotic solution of the transient dynamic contact problem is determined. By way of example, the asymptotic solution of the problem of the penetration of a plane punch into an elastic strip lying without friction on a rigid base is given. Formulae are derived for the active elastic resistance force on the punch of a medium preventing the penetration of the punch, and the law of penetration of the punch into the elastic strip is obtained, taking into account the elastic stress wave reflected from the strip face opposite the punch and passing underneath it.
