Antiplane deformation of a partially bonded elliptical inclusion

A new method that introduces two holomorphic potential functions (the two-phase potentials) is applied to analyze the antiplane deformation of an elliptical inhomogeneity partially-bonded to an infinite matrix. Elastic fields are obtained when either the matrix is subject to a uniform longitudinal shear or the inhomogeneity undergoes a uniform shear transformation. The stress field possesses the square-root singularity of a Mode III interface crack, which, in the special case of a rigid line inhomogeneity, changes in order, as the crack tip approaches the inhomogeneity end. In the latter situation the crack-tip elastic fields are linear in two real stress intensity factors related to a strong and a weak singularity of the stress field.     

Wedge indentation into elastic-plastic single crystals, 1: Asymptotic fields for nearly-flat wedge

Asymptotic stress and deformation fields under the contact point singularities of a nearly-flat wedge indenter and of a flat punch are derived for elastic ideally-plastic single crystals with three effective in-plane slip systems that admit a plane strain deformation state. Face-centered cubic (FCC), body-centered cubic (BCC), and hexagonal-close packed (HCP) crystals are considered. The asymptotic fields for the flat punch are analogous to those at the tip of a stationary crack, so a potential solution is that the deformation field consists entirely of angular constant stress plastic sectors separated by rays of plastic deformation across which stresses change discontinuously. The asymptotic fields for a nearly-flat wedge indenter are analogous to those of a quasistatically growing crack tip fields in that stress discontinuities can not exist across sector boundaries. Hence, the asymptotic fields under the contact point singularities of a nearly-flat wedge indenter are significantly different than those under a flat punch. A family of solutions is derived that consists entirely of elastically deforming angular sectors separated by rays of plastic deformation across which the stress state is continuous. Such a solution can be found for FCC and BCC crystals, but it is shown that the asymptotic fields for HCP crystals must include at least one angular constant stress plastic sector. The structure of such fields is important because they play a significant role in the establishment of the overall fields under a wedge indenter in a single crystal. Numerical simulations—discussed in detail in a companion paper—of the stress and deformation fields under the contact point singularity of a wedge indenter for a FCC crystal possess the salient features of the analytical solution.     

纤维段裂试验的界面端应力奇异性研究

纤维段裂试验是测定纤维复合材料界面剪切强度的细观实验方法之一，其试验结果与其他三种细观试验方法(纤维拔出、纤维压人和微珠脱粘)测得的结果各不相符，相差较大。针对该问题，仔细研究了纤维段裂试验过程，可发现如下两个问题，首先是试件中纤维断裂造成的界面端应力奇异性问题；其次是纤维断成临界长度时界面是否脱粘的问题。针对界面端应力奇异性问题，本文建立了界面端轴对称分析模型，运用渐近展开法，推导出求解界面端特征值的特征方程，并由此得到应力奇异性指数随Dundurs常数的变化规律；采用文献[5]所用试件的纤维／基体性能数据，计算出了界面端的应力奇异性指数，并与文献[7]得到的其他三种试验的界面端应力奇异性指数进行比较，发现纤维段裂试件也存在界面端应力奇异性，而且应力奇异性最强，也说明了与其他三种试验结果不具可比性。本文还对纤维断成临界长度时界面是否脱粘的问题，进行了讨论。     

单纤维段裂试验评述

单纤维段裂试验作为复合材料界面剪切强度的一种测试方法被沿用至今.但是, 这种方法的可信度已受到一些研究者的质疑.为了明确单纤维段裂试验的问题, 本文首先对试验技术、试验结果分析等方面作了概述, 并指出: 纤维段裂的饱和状态是单纤维段裂试验的终点标志,以及临界长度是由试验得到的唯一数据, 而这二点是这种试验方法独具的特点, 同时也是这种试验方法难以克服的缺陷.在单纤维段裂试验中, 按照纤维段界面端处的局部损伤模式, 有3种界面端应力奇异性分析的问题需要予以考虑:(1)纤维断裂, 基体没有开裂, 和界面没有脱粘;(2)纤维断裂, 基体开裂, 但界面没有脱粘;(3)纤维断裂, 界面脱粘, 基体已开裂或基体未开裂.在单纤维段裂试验的界面端应力奇异性分析的基础上, 本文对单纤维段裂试验的可靠性进行了研究.结论是: 任何纤维和基体组成的复合材料的单纤维段裂试验都存在界面端应力奇异性, 这就排除了用单纤维段裂试验测定界面剪切强度的可能性.      

ASYMPTOTIC ANALYSIS OF MODE Ⅱ STATIONARY GROWTH CRACK ON ELASTIC-ELASTIC POWER LAW CREEPING BIMATERIAL INTERFACE

A mechanical model was established for mode Ⅱ interfacial crack static growing along an elastic-elastic power law creeping bimaterial interface. For two kinds of boundary conditions on crack faces, traction free and frictional contact, asymptotic solutions of the stress and strain near tip-crack were given. Results derived indicate that the stress and strain have the same singularity, there is not the oscillatory singularity in the field; the creep power-hardening index n and the ratio of Young' s module notably influence the cracktip field in region of elastic power law creeping material and n only influences distribution of stresses and strains in region of elastic material. When n is bigger, the creeping deformation is dominant and stress fields become steady, which does not change with n.Poisson ' s ratio does not affect the distributing of the crack- tip field.     

Elastic-viscoplastic field at mixed-mode interface crack-tip under compression and shear

For a compression-shear mixed mode interface crack, it is difficult to solve the stress and strain fields considering the material viscosity, the crack-tip singularity, the frictional effect, and the mixed loading level. In this paper, a mechanical model of the dynamic propagation interface crack for the compression-shear mixed mode is proposed using an elastic-viscoplastic constitutive model. The governing equations of propagation crack interface at the crack-tip are given. The numerical analysis is performed for the interface crack of the compression-shear mixed mode by introducing a displacement function and some boundary conditions. The distributed regularities of stress field of the interface crack-tip are discussed with several special parameters. The final results show that the viscosity effect and the frictional contact effect on the crack surface and the mixed-load parameter are important factors in studying the mixed mode interface crack- tip fields. These fields are controlled by the viscosity coefficient, the Mach number, and the singularity exponent.     

A new variable-order singular boundary element for calculating stress intensity factors in three-dimensional elasticity problems

A new three-dimensional variable-order singular boundary element has been constructed for stress analysis of three-dimensional interface cracks and internal material junctions. The singular fields in the vicinity of crack front or junction have been accurately represented by the singular elements by taking account the variable order of singularities and the angular profiles of field variables. Both the singular stress fields and displacement fields are independently formulated by the element’s shape functions. Different kinds of displacement formulations are investigated. The formulation combining singular and linear terms is found to be the most accurate one. The mixed-mode stress intensity factors are treated as nodal unknowns. The variation of stress intensity factors along the line of singularity can be obtained directly from the final system of equations and thus no post processing, such as three-dimensional J-integral or domain integral, is necessary. Numerical examples involving stress singularity, such as penny-shaped cracks in homogeneous and dissimilar material interface, plates with through-thickness cracks, and a dissimilar inclusion, are investigated. The analysis results are in good agreement with those reported in the literature.

Higher order fields for damaged nonlinear antiplane shear notch, crack and inclusion problems

Damaged nonlinear antiplane shear problems with a variety of singularities are studied analytically. A deformation plasticity theory coupled with damage is employed in analysis. The effect of microscopic damage is considered in terms of continuum damage mechanics approach. An exact solution for the general damaged nonlinear singular antiplane shear problem is derived in the stress plane by means of a hodograph transformation, then corresponding higher order asymptotic solutions are obtained by reversing the stress plane solution to the physical plane. As example, traction free sharp notch and crack, rigid sharp wedge and flat inclusion, and mixed boundary sharp notch problems are investigated, respectively. Consequently, higher order fields are obtained, in which analytical expressions of the dominant and second order singularity exponents and angular distribution functions of the near tip fields are derived. Effects of the damage and hardening exponents of materials and the geometric angle of notch/wedge on the near tip quantities are discussed in detail. It is found that damage leads to a weaker dominant singularity of stress, but to little stronger singularities of the dominant and second order terms of strain compared to that for undamaged material. It is also seen that damage has important effect on the angular distribution functions of the near tip stress and strain fields. As special cases, higher order analytical solutions of the crack and rigid flat inclusion tip fields are obtained, respectively, by reducing the notch/wedge tip solutions. Effects of damage and hardening exponents on the dominant and second order terms in the solutions of the crack and inclusion tip fields are discussed.

Singular stress field near the edge of interface of bonded dissimilar materials with an interlayer

For bonded dissimilar materials, the free-edge stress singularity usually prevails near the intersection of the free-surface and the interface. When two materials are bonded by using an adhesive, an interlayer develops between the two bonded materials. When a ceramic and a metal are bonded, the residual stress develops because of difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion. An interlayer may be inserted between the two materials to defuse the residual stress. Stress field near the intersection of the interface and free-surface in the presence of the interlayer is then very important for evaluating the strength of bonded dissimilar materials.In this study, stress distributions on the interface of bonded dissimilar materials with an interlayer were calculated by using the boundary element method to investigate the effect of the interlayer on the stress distribution. The relation between the free-edge singular stress fields of bonded dissimilar materials with and without an interlayer was investigated numerically. It was found that the influence of the interlayer on the stress distributions was confined within a small area of the order of interlayer thickness around the intersection of the interface and the free-surface when the interlayer was very thin. The stress distribution near the intersection of the interface and the free-surface was controlled by the free-edge stress singularity of the bonded dissimilar materials without the interlayer. In this case, the interlayer can be called free-edge singularity-controlled interlayer. If a stress distribution on the interface is known for one thickness of an interlayer h, stress distributions on the interface for other values of h can be estimated.     

Three-dimensional analysis of defects in a piezoelectric material

In this paper, the Green's function technique is used to develop a solution of an infinite, piezoelectric medium containing either an ellipsoidal cavity or a flat elliptical crack. The coupled elastic and electric fields both inside the cavity and on the boundary of the cavity are obtained, and the stress intensity factor and the electric field intensity factor are also obtained for an elliptical crack. It is found that; (1) the coupled elastic and electric fields inside the cavity keep uniform when the external elastic field and electric field are constant; (2) the behavior of the stress and electric field components in the neighborhood of the crack tip shows the classical type of singularity.

Effects of characteristic material lengths on mode III crack propagation in couple stress elastic–plastic materials

The asymptotic fields near the tip of a crack steadily propagating in a ductile material under Mode III loading conditions are investigated by adopting an incremental version of the indeterminate theory of couple stress plasticity displaying linear and isotropic strain hardening. The adopted constitutive model is able to account for the microstructure of the material by incorporating two distinct material characteristic lengths. It can also capture the strong size effects arising at small scales, which results from the underlying microstructures. According to the asymptotic crack tip fields for a stationary crack provided by the indeterminate theory of couple stress elasticity, the effects of microstructure mainly consist in a switch in the sign of tractions and displacement and in a substantial increase in the singularity of tractions ahead of the crack-tip, with respect to the classical solution of LEFM and EPFM. The increase in the stress singularity also occurs for small values of the strain hardening coefficient and is essentially due to the skew-symmetric stress field, since the symmetric stress field turns out to be non-singular. Moreover, the obtained results show that the ratio η introduced by Koiter has a limited effect on the strength of the stress singularity. However, it displays a strong influence on the angular distribution of the asymptotic crack tip fields.     

有限尺寸下双材料界面附近裂纹位置对裂纹尖端的影响

随着复合材料的应用和发展,不同材料组成的界面结构越来越受到人们的重视。界面层两侧材料的性能相异会引起材料界面端奇异性,同时界面和界面附近存在裂纹会引起裂尖处的应力奇异性。因此双材料界面附近的力学分析是比较复杂的。本文建立双材料直角界面模型,在材料界面附近预设初始裂纹,计算了有限材料尺寸对界面应力场及其附近裂纹应力强度因子的影响。运用弹性力学中的 Goursat 公式求得直角界面端在有限尺寸下的应力场以及其应力强度系数。通过叠加原理和格林函数法进一步得到在直角界面端附近的裂纹尖端应力强度因子。计算结果表明,在适当范围内改变材料内裂纹与界面之间的距离,界面附近裂纹尖端的应力强度因子随着裂纹与界面距离的增加而减少,并且逐渐趋于稳定。分析结果可以为预测双材料结构复合材料界面失效位置提供参考。
