含界面裂纹Reissner板弯曲问题分析的奇异单元

首先,采用特征函数渐近展开法,推导了Reissner板弯曲界面裂纹尖端附近位移场渐近展开的前两阶显式表达式,并利用所获得的位移场渐近表达式构造了一种可用于Reissner板弯曲界面裂纹分析的奇异单元。然后,将该奇异单元与外部的常规有限单元相结合,开展了含界面裂纹Reissner板弯曲断裂问题的数值分析。奇异单元可以较好地描述裂纹尖端附近的内力场与位移场,其优势是它与常规单元进行连接时不需要使用过渡单元,并且可以直接给出应力强度因子等断裂参数的高精度数值结果。最后,通过两个数值算例验证了本文方法的有效性。     

内部压力作用下矩形板中源于椭圆孔的分支裂纹应力强度因子的一种数值分析

应用一种边界元方法来研究内部压力作用下矩形板中源于椭圆孔的分支裂纹。该边界元方法由Crouch与Starfied建立的常位移不连续单元和笔者最近提出的裂尖位移不连续单元构成。在该边界元方法的实施过程中，左、右裂尖位移不连续单元分别置于裂纹的左、右裂尖处，而常位移不连续单元则分布于除了裂尖位移不连续单元占据的位置之外的整个裂纹面及其它边界。本数值结果进一步证实这种数值方法对计算有限大板中复杂裂纹的应力强度因子的有效性，同时该数值结果可以揭示裂纹体几何对应力强度因子的影响。     

THE EVALUATION OF STRESS INTENSITY FACTORS OF PLANE CRACK FOR ORTHOTROPIC PLATE WITH EQUAL PARAMETER BY F2LFEM

In this paper, the evaluation of stress intensity factor of plane crack problems for orthotropic plate of equal-parameter is investigated using a fractal two-level finite element method (F2LFEM). The general solution of an orthotropic crack problem is obtained by assimilating the problem with isotropic crack problem, and is employed as the global interpolation function in F2LFEM. In the neighborhood of crack tip of the crack plate, the fractal geometry concept is introduced to achieve the similar meshes having similarity ratio less than one and generate an infinitesimal mesh so that the relationship between the stiffness matrices of two adjacent layers is equal. A large number of degrees of freedom around the crack tip are transformed to a small set of generalized coordinates. Numerical examples show that this method is efficient and accurate in evaluating the stress intensity factor (SIF).

A numerical analysis of cracks emanating from an elliptical hole in a 2-D elasticity plate

This paper is concerned with the stress intensity factors (SIFs) of cracks emanating from an elliptical hole in an infinite or a finite plate under biaxial loads by using a boundary element method, which consists of the non-singular displacement discontinuity element presented by Crouch and Starfield and the crack-tip displacement discontinuity elements due to the author. In the boundary element implementation the left or the right crack-tip element is placed locally at the corresponding left or right crack tip on top of the constant displacement discontinuity elements that cover the entire crack surface and the other boundaries. A few numerical examples are included to show that the present approach is very efficient and accurate for the calculating the SIFs of crack problems in an infinite or a finite plate. The present numerical results of cracks emanating from an elliptical hole under biaxial loads can reveal the effect of the elliptical aspect ratio and the transverse load on the SIFs.

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.     

基于扩展有限元法的裂尖场精度研究

扩展有限元方法基于单元分解的基本思想,通过引入位移加强函数来表征裂纹的不连续性和裂尖的奇异性。在裂尖加强单元与常规单元之间有一层混合单元,当对裂尖特定区域进行加强时,混合单元个数相应增加,混合单元个数与计算精度存在一定联系。本文提出一种正方形裂尖加强区域的选择方式,可得到较单个加强和圆形加强精度更高、更稳定的计算结果。对于不同长度的裂纹,表征裂尖场奇异性所需的裂尖加强范围存在较大差异,以正方形裂尖加强方式进行计算,得到了不同裂纹长度下最优的加强尺寸。     

Determination of stress intensity factor with direct stress approach using finite element analysis

In this article,a direct stress approach based on finite element analysis to determine the stress intensity fac-tor is improved.Firstly,by comparing the rigorous solution against the asymptotic solution for a problem of an infinite plate embedded a central crack,we found that the stresses in a restrictive interval near the crack tip given by the rigorous solution can be used to determine the stress intensity fac-tor,which is nearly equal to the stress intensity factor given by the asymptotic solution.Secondly,the crack problem is solved numerically by the finite element method.Depending on the modeling capability of the software,we designed an adaptive mesh model to simulate the stress singularity.Thus, the stress result in an appropriate interval near the crack tip is fairly approximated to the rigorous solution of the corre-sponding crack problem.Therefore,the stress intensity factor may be calculated from the stress distribution in the appro-priate interval,with a high accuracy.     

Numerical simulation of loading edge cracks by edge impact using the extended finite element method

The extended finite element method is used to analyze a plate with two parallel edge cracks impacted by a cylindrical projectile. The influence of the impact speed, crack length,plate thickness and notch tip radius on the crack initiation and propagation is studied. Dynamics equations are solved by an implicit time integration scheme which is unconditionally stable. Very good agreement is achieved between numerical predictions and experimental results. The critical velocity of the crack initiation under different conditions is examined. The influence of the crack length is greater than that of the impact speed, plate thickness and notch tip radius.
