The singularity behavior of an interface crack under a dynamic load

The singularity behavior of a crack on the interface of two different media under dynamic load is investigated. By introducing a small region in which the crack faces make frictionless contact and making use of a kind of integral equations with moving boundaries, it is proved that there are only square-root singularities near the interface crack tips in case that a dynamic load acts on it. Numerical results show that the normal stress in the contact region remains negative. The results of the stress intensity factor and the length of the crack face contact region are given to illustrate the dynamic behavior of the interface crack.This work is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

An electrically impermeable and magnetically permeable interface crack with a contact zone in magnetoelectroelastic bimaterials under a thermal flux and magnetoelectromechanical loads

An interface crack with a frictionless contact zone at the right crack-tip between two dissimilar magnetoelectroelastic materials under the action of a thermal flux and remote magnetoelectromechanical loads is considered. The open part of the crack is assumed to be electrically impermeable and magnetically permeable, and the crack faces are assumed to be heat insulted. The inhomogeneous combined Dirichlet–Riemann and Hilbert boundary value problems are, respectively, formulated and solved analytically. Stress, electrical displacement intensity factors as well as energy release rate are found in analytical forms, and analytical expressions for the contact zone length have been obtained for both the general case and the case of small contact zone length. Some numerical results are presented, which show clearly the effects of thermal and magnetoelectromechanical loads on the contact zone length, stress intensity factor and energy release rate. Results presented in this paper should have potential applications to the design of multilayered magnetoelectroelastic structures and devices.     

Special approach for the determination of fracture mechanical parameters at an interface crack tip

An interface crack of finite length is considered between two semi-infinite planes with an artificial contact zone at one of the two crack tips. A transcendental equation and certain simple asymptotic formulas are established for the real contact zone (in the Comninou-Dundurs sense) in terms of the stress intensity factors (SIFs) of the considered model. In these terms analytical expressions are also provided for the energy release rate and for the SIF of the classical interface crack model with an oscillating singularity at the crack tip. The appropriate length of the artifical contact zone is shown to be attainable on the basis of the analysis of the stresses at the crack tip. The use of the proposed model is suggested for integrity assessment of inhomogeneous structural elements of composites containing interface cracks.

On interface crack models with contact zones situated in an anisotropic bimaterial

Summary A boundary value problem for two semi-infinite anisotropic spaces with mixed boundary conditions at the interface is considered. Assuming that the displacements are independent of the coordinate x ₃, stresses and derivatives of displacement jumps are expressed via a sectionally holomorphic vector function. By means of these relations the problem for an interface crack with an artificial contact zone in an orthotropic bimaterial is reduced to a combined Dirichlet-Riemann problem which is solved analytically. As a particular case of this solution, the contact zone model (in Comninou's sense) is derived. A simple transcendental equation and an asymptotic formula for the determination of the real contact zone length are obtained. The classical interface crack model with oscillating singularities at the crack tips is derived from the obtained solution as well. Analytical relations between fracture mechanical parameters of different models are found, and recommendations concerning their implementation are given. The dependencies of the contact zone lengths on material properties and external load coefficients are illustrated in graphical form. The practical applicability of the obtained results is demonstrated by means of a FEM analysis of a finite-sized orthotropic bimaterial with an interface crack.

Contact zone assessment for a fast growing interface crack in an anisotropic bimaterial

Summary A plane strain problem for a crack with a frictionless contact zone at the leading crack tip expanding stationary along the interface of two anisotropic half-spaces with a subsonic speed under the action of various loadings is considered. The cases of finite and infinite-length interface cracks under the action of a moving concentrated loading at its faces are considered. A finite-length crack for a uniform mixed-mode loading at infinity is considered as well. The associated combined Dirichlet-Riemann boundary value problems are formulated and solved exactly for all above-mentioned cases. The expressions for stresses and the derivatives of the displacement jumps at the interface are presented in a closed analytical form for an arbitrary contact zone length. Transcendental equations are obtained for the determination of the real contact zone length, and the associated closed form asymptotic formulas are found for small values of this parameter. It is found that independently of the types of the crack and loading, an increase of the crack tip speed leads to an increase of the real contact zone length and the correspondent stress intensity factor. The latter increase significantly for an interface crack tip speed approaching the Ragleigh wave speed.

Analysis method of planar interface cracks of arbitrary shape in three-dimensional transversely isotropic magnetoelectroelastic bimaterials

Using the fundamental solutions for three-dimensional transversely isotropic magnetoelectroelastic bimaterials, the extended displacements at any point for an internal crack parallel to the interface in a magnetoelectroelastic bimaterial are expressed in terms of the extended displacement discontinuities across the crack surfaces. The hyper-singular boundary integral–differential equations of the extended displacement discontinuities are obtained for planar interface cracks of arbitrary shape under impermeable and permeable boundary conditions in three-dimensional transversely isotropic magnetoelectroelastic bimaterials. An analysis method is proposed based on the analogy between the obtained boundary integral–differential equations and those for interface cracks in purely elastic media. The singular indexes and the singular behaviors of near crack-tip fields are studied. Three new extended stress intensity factors at crack tip related to the extended stresses are defined for interface cracks in three-dimensional transversely isotropic magnetoelectroelastic bimaterials. A penny-shaped interface crack in magnetoelectroelastic bimaterials is studied by using the proposed method.The results show that the extended stresses near the border of an impermeable interface crack possess the well-known oscillating singularity r^?1/2±iε or the non-oscillating singularity r^?1/2±κ. Three-dimensional transversely isotropic magnetoelectroelastic bimaterials are categorized into two groups, i.e., ε-group with non-zero value of ε and κ-group with non-zero value of κ. The two indexes ε and κ do not coexist for one bimaterial. However, the extended stresses near the border of a permeable interface crack have only oscillating singularity and depend only on the mechanical loadings.

Stress state of a transversely isotropic magnetoelectroelastic body with a plane crack under antisymmetric loads

The static equilibrium of a transversely isotropic magnetoelectroelastic body with a plane crack of arbitrary shape in the isotropy plane under antisymmetric mechanical loading is studied. The relationships between the stress intensity factors (SIFs) for an infinite magnetoelectroelastic body and the SIFs for a purely elastic body with the same crack and under the same antisymmetric loading are established. This enables the SIFs for a magnetoelectroelastic body to be found directly from the analogous problem of elasticity. As an example of using this result, the SIFs for penny-shaped, elliptic, and parabolic cracks in a magnetoelectroelastic body under antisymmetric mechanical loading are found Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 44, No. 10, pp. 37–51, October 2008.     

An electrically conducting interface crack with a contact zone in a piezoelectric bimaterial

A plane problem for an electrically conducting interface crack in a piezoelectric bimaterial is studied. The bimaterial is polarized in the direction orthogonal to the crack faces and loaded by remote tension and shear forces and an electrical field parallel to the crack faces. All fields are assumed to be independent of the coordinate co-directed with the crack front. Using special presentations of electromechanical quantities via sectionally-analytic functions, a combined Dirichlet–Riemann and Hilbert boundary value problem is formulated and solved analytically. Explicit analytical expressions for the characteristic mechanical and electrical parameters are derived. Also, a contact zone solution is obtained as a particular case. For the determination of the contact zone length, a simple transcendental equation is derived. Stress and electric field intensity factors and, also, the contact zone length are found for various material combinations and different loadings. A significant influence of the electric field on the contact zone length, stress and electric field intensity factors is observed. Electrically permeable conditions in the crack region are considered as well and matching of different crack models has been performed.     

Penny-shaped interfacial crack between dissimilar magnetoelectroelastic layers

A penny-shaped interfacial crack between dissimilar magnetoelectroelastic layers subjected to magnetoelectromechanical loads is investigated,where the magnetoelectrically impermeable crack surface condition is adopted. By using Hankel transform technique,the mixed boundary value problem is firstly reduced to a system of singular integral equations,which are further reduced to a system of algebraic equations. The field intensity factors and energy release rate are finally derived. Numerical results elucidate the eects of crack configuration,electric and/or magnetic loads,and material parameters of the magnetoelectroelastic layers on crack propagation and growth. This work should be useful for the design of magnetoelectroelastic composite structures.     

An analytically-numerical approach for the analysis of an interface crack with a contact zone in a piezoelectric bimaterial compound

An interface crack with an artificial contact zone at the right-hand side crack tip between two dissimilar finite-sized piezoelectric materials is considered under remote mixed-mode loading. To find the singular electromechanical field at the crack tip, an asymptotic solution is derived in connection with the conventional finite element method. For mechanical loads, the stress intensity factors at the singular points are obtained. As a particular case of this solution, the contact zone model (in Comninou’s sense) is derived. A simple transcendental equation and an asymptotic formula for the determination of the real contact zone length are derived. The dependencies of the contact zone lengths on external load coefficients are illustrated in graphical form. For a particular case of a short crack with respect to the dimensions of the bimaterial compound, the numerical results are compared to the exact analytical solutions, obtained for a piezoelectric bimaterial plane with an interface crack.

ELASTO-PLASTIC BRANCHED ANALYSIS FOR AN INTERFACE CRACK BASED ON CRACK ENERGY DENSITY

The elasto-plastic finite element analyses for an interface crack indissimilar material,based on the crack energy density(CED)concept,are investigatedin mode Ⅰ loading condition.It is confirmed that the values of CED almost remainstable when the notch radius ρ is sufficiently small,both in elastic and elasto-plasticcase.Numerical results for both elastic and elasto-plastic cases show that under themode Ⅰ loading condition,when the crack propagates to the more stiff material with asmall angle,the total CED will become larger than that along the interface.If thecrack heads into the more compliant material,the CED will become less than that alongthe interface.

ANTI-PLANE ANALYSIS FOR ELLIPTICAL INCLUSION IN MAGNETOELECTROELASTIC MATERIALS

This paper considers the multi-field coupling in magneroelectroelastic composite materials consisting of the inclusion and the matrix are magnetoelectroelastic materials. The mechanical,electric and magnetic fields around an elliptical cylinder inclusion are formulated by complex potentials. Inside the inclusion,the strain,electric and magnetic fields are found to be uniform and vary with the shape of the ellipse. When the inclusion is reduced to a crack,along the interface,the strain,electric field strength and magnetic field strength equal the corresponding remote ones,which can be used as the boundary condition. Special cases,such as a rigid and permeable inclusion,a soft and impermeable inclusion,a line inclusion and a crack problem are discussed in detail.
