An effective boundary element method for analysis of crack problems in a plane elastic plate

A simple and effective boundary element method for stress intensity factor calculation for crack problems in a plane elastic plate is presented. The boundary element method consists of the constant displacement discontinuity element presented by Crouch and Starfield and the crack-tip displacement discontinuity elements proposed by YAN Xiangqiao. In the boundary element implementation the left or the right crack-tip displacement discontinuity element was placed locally at the corresponding left or right each crack tip on top of the constant displacement discontinuity elements that cover the entire crack surface and the other boundaries. Test examples (i. e. , a center crack in an infinite plate under tension, a circular hole and a crack in an infinite plate under tension) are included to illustrate that the numerical approach is very simple and accurate for stress intensity factor calculation of plane elasticity crack problems. In addition, specifically, the stress intensity factors of branching cracks emanating from a square hole in a rectangular plate under biaxial loads were analysed. These numerical results indicate the present numerical approach is very effective for calculating stress intensity factors of complex cracks in a 2-D finite body, and are used to reveal the effect of the biaxial loads and the cracked body geometry on stress intensity factors.

In numerical calculations, the effects of interfacial damage on the stress in the interface and the nonlinear dynamic response of laminated plates are discussed.     

ANALYTICAL SOLUTIONS TO STRESS CONCENTRATION PROBLEM IN PLATES CONTAINING RECTANGULAR HOLE UNDER BIAXIAL TENSIONS

The stress concentration problem in structures with a circular or elliptic hole can be investigated by analytical methods. For the problem with a rectangular hole, only approximate results are derived. This paper deduces the analytical solutions to the stress concentration problem in plates with a rectangular hole under biaxial tensions. By using the U-transformation technique and the finite element method, the analytical displacement solutions of the finite element equations are derived in the series form. Therefore, the stress concentration can then be discussed easily and conveniently. For plate problem the bilinear rectangular element with four nodes is taken as an example to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method. The stress concentration factors for various ratios of height to width of the hole are obtained.

考虑梗腋在波形钢腹板组合箱梁剪力滞效应的影响,通过剪力流公式定义了考虑梗腋影响的修正系数,运用变分法得到对应的微分方程,然后求出简支波形钢腹板组合箱梁在集中荷载作用下的剪力滞系数计算公式,采用数值模拟进行对比验证。最后通过调整梗腋尺寸参数,研究梗腋形状变化对剪力滞效应的影响。结果表明,考虑梗腋影响后的理论计算结果与有限元结果吻合较好;波形钢腹板组合箱梁的剪力滞效应现象随着梗腋影响系数的增大而减小;考虑梗腋影响的波形钢腹板组合箱梁剪力滞系数较未考虑情况大幅度降低,在集中荷载下剪力滞效应系数减小约10%;当梗腋宽度与上翼板宽度的比值大于0.5时,对剪力滞效应的影响变化较小,梗腋高度为其宽度的0.16~0.19倍时对剪力滞效应影响最大。     

简支及悬臂箱梁在角隅轴向荷载作用下的翼板纵向应力

基于能量变分原理，拟定轴向荷载作用下箱梁的纵向位移函数，得到关于翼板剪切变形引起的位移差函数的基本微分方程，继而推导出箱梁翼板纵向应力表达式，并首次得出角隅轴向荷载作用下翼板出现应力不均匀分布的荷载及边界条件。通过对一模型箱梁进行计算，并与通用有限元软件ANSYS壳单元计算结果进行比较，验证了该方法和所推导公式的正确性。研究结果表明，当作用于简支箱梁截面角隅处的轴向荷载（合力无偏心）为集中或分布荷载时，翼板不产生纵向应力不均匀现象；当作用于悬臂箱梁截面角隅处的轴向荷载（合力无偏心）为集中荷载时，翼板不产生纵向应力不均匀现象，而当荷载轴向分布时，翼板将产生纵向应力不均匀现象。实际工程中，横力弯曲使悬臂箱梁产生剪力滞效应，这种效应会与轴向分布荷载产生的效应叠加，设计时对此应予以充分考虑。

为研究钢桁腹式混凝土组合箱梁翼板纵向应力沿横桥向的分布情况,运用有限元软件ANSYS建立一座35m等截面简支钢桁腹式混凝土组合箱梁的有限元模型,考虑斜向腹杆杆力作用会使翼板产生附加轴力及相应的附加应力,故利用能量变分法原理推导出组合箱梁的翼板纵向弯曲应力和纵向附加应力计算公式,并据此探讨适用于计算组合箱梁的翼板纵向应力的方法。将有限元值和理论值进行比较,吻合程度良好。研究结果表明,组合箱梁的下翼板纵向应力可采用纵向弯曲应力计算公式进行计算;为获得组合箱梁的翼板附加轴力,可将组合箱梁的钢桁腹杆和混凝土纵梁取出,认为两者通过节点构造共同构成平面桁架,翼板附加轴力即为平面桁架的弦杆杆力;组合箱梁的上翼板纵向应力可通过纵向弯曲应力和经修正的纵向附加应力叠加获得。

矩形箱梁力学性能分析的修正计算方法

本文对矩形箱梁翼板设置了不同的剪滞翘曲位移差函数，继而综合考虑剪力滞效应、剪切变形以及剪滞翘曲应力和弯矩自平衡条件等因素，且以能量变分原理为基础建立了矩形箱梁的弹性控制微分方程和自然边界条件，基于此修正了现行薄壁结构分析方法。与传统剪滞理论相比，本文方法深刻反映了矩形箱梁的力学特性。研究表明，(1)由于剪滞翘曲应力和弯矩自平衡条件的引入，矩形箱梁力学性能分解为独立的初等梁理论和剪滞理论体系，且箱梁力学性能为两者的叠加效应；(2)矩形箱梁断面尺寸确定，剪滞效应对其正应力的影响值不变，即剪滞效应的竖向力学行为与箱梁跨径无关；(3)尽管矩形箱梁的梁高对箱形梁剪滞翘曲应力和初等梁理论的应力值皆有一定影响，但其剪力滞系数不变，因此剪力滞效应与梁高无关；(4)剪力滞效应不仅影响箱梁翼板力学性能，而且对其腹板力学行为的影响不可忽视。因而，与传统剪滞理论相比，本文修正法不仅计算精度明显提高，而且更能真实反映矩形箱梁的力学性能。
