Analysis on non-oscillatory singularity behaviors of mode Ⅱ interface crack tip in orthotropic bimaterial

The fracture behaviors near the mode Ⅱ interface crack tip for orthotropic bimaterial are studied. The non-oscillatory field, where the stress singularity exponent is a real number, is discussed by the complex function method and the undetermined coefficient method. From the research fracture problems, the stress functions with ten undetermined coefficients and an unknown singularity exponent are introduced when?_1 0 and ?_2 0. By the existence theorem of non-trival solutions for the system of eight homogeneous linear equations, the characteristic equation, the stress singularity exponent, and the discriminating condition of the non-oscillatory singularity are found.By the uniqueness theorem of the solutions for the system of twelve non-homogeneous linear equations with ten unknowns, the ten undermined coefficients in the stress functions are uniquely determined. The definitions of the stress intensity factors are given with the help of one-sided limit, and their theoretical formulae are deduced. The analytic solutions of the stresses near the mode Ⅱ interface crack tip are derived. The classical results for orthotropic material are obtained.     

Analysis of stress intensity factor in orthotropic bi-material mixed interface crack

Adopting the complex function approach, the paper studies the stress intensity factor in orthotropic bi-material interface cracks under mixed loads. With consideration of the boundary conditions, a new stress function is introduced to transform the problem of bi-material interface crack into a boundary value problem of partial differential equations. Two sets of non-homogeneous linear equations with 16 unknowns are constructed. By solving the equations, the expressions for the real bi-material elastic constant εt and the real stress singularity exponents λt are obtained with the bi-material engineering parameters satisfying certain conditions. By the uniqueness theorem of limit,undetermined coefficients are determined, and thus the bi-material stress intensity factor in mixed cracks is obtained. The bi-material stress intensity factor characterizes features of mixed cracks. When orthotropic bi-materials are of the same material, the degenerate solution to the stress intensity factor in mixed bi-material interface cracks is in complete agreement with the present classic conclusion. The relationship between the bi-material stress intensity factor and the ratio of bi-material shear modulus and the relationship between the bi-material stress intensity factor and the ratio of bi-material Young's modulus are given in the numerical analysis.     

Basic solution of two parallel non-symmetric permeable cracks in piezoelectric materials

The behavior of two parallel non-symmetric cracks in piezoelectric materials subjected to the anti-plane shear loading was studied by the Schmidt method for the permeable crack electric boundary conditions. Through the Fourier transform, the present problem can be solved with two pairs of dual integral equations ip which the unknown variables are the jumps of displacements across crack surfaces. To solve the dual integral equations, the jumps of displacements across crack surfaces were directly expanded in a series of Jacobi polynomials. Finally, the relations between electric displacement intensity factors and stress intensity factors at crack tips can be obtained. Numerical examples are provided to show the effect of the distance between two cracks upon stress and electric displacement intensity factors at crack tips. Contrary to the impermeable crack surface condition solution, it is found that electric displacement intensity factors for the permeable crack surface conditions are much smaller than those for the impermeable crack surface conditions. At the same time, it can be found that the crack shielding effect is also present in the piezoelectric materials.

Dynamic stress intensity factor K III and dynamic crack propagation characteristics of anisotropic materials

Based on the mechanics of anisotropic materials, the dynamic propagation problem of a mode Ⅲ crack in an infinite anisotropic body is investigated. Stress, strain and displacement around the crack tip are expressed as an analytical complex function, which can be represented in power series. Constant coefficients of series are determined by boundary conditions. Expressions of dynamic stress intensity factors for a mode Ⅲ crack are obtained. Components of dynamic stress, dynamic strain and dynamic displacement around the crack tip are derived. Crack propagation characteristics are represented by the mechanical properties of the anisotropic materials, i.e., crack propagation velocity M and the parameter ~. The faster the crack velocity is, the greater the maximums of stress components and dynamic displacement components around the crack tip are. In particular, the parameter α affects stress and dynamic displacement around the crack tip.     

INVESTIGATION OF BEHAVIOR OF MODE-Ⅰ INTERFACE CRACK IN PIEZOELECTRIC MATERIALS BY USING SCHMIDT METHOD

The behavior of a Mode-Ⅰ interface crack in piezoelectric materials was investigated under the assumptions that the effect of the crack surface overlapping very near the crack tips was negligible. By use of the Fourier transform, the problem can be solved with the help of two pairs of dual integral equations. To solve the dual integral equations, the jumps of the displacements across the crack surfaces were expanded in a series of Jacobi polynomials. It is found that the stress and the electric displacement singularities of the present interface crack solution are the same as ones of the ordinary crack in homogenous materials. The solution of the present paper can be returned to the exact solution when the upper half plane material is the same as the lower half plane material.

The collinear crack problem for an orthotropic functionally graded coating–substrate structure

A theoretical treatment of antiplane crack problem of two collinear cracks on the two sides of and perpendicular to the interface between a functionally graded orthotropic strip bonded to an orthotropic homogeneous substrate is put forward. Various internal cracks and crack terminating at the interface and crack crossing the interface configurations are investigated, respectively. The problem is formulated in terms of a singular integral equation with the crack face displacement as the unknown variable. The asymptotic stress field near the tip of a crack crossing the interface is examined, and it is shown that, unlike the corresponding stress field in piecewise homogeneous materials, in this case, the “kink” in material property at the interface does not introduce any singularity. Numerical calculations are carried out, and the influences of the orthotropy and nonhomogeneous parameters and crack interactions on the mode III stress intensity factors are investigated.     

Concentrated impact loading on one face of a semi-infinite crack in an anisotropic elastic material

The response of an unbounded anisotropic elastic body containing a semi-infinite crack subjected to a concentrated impact force on one of the crack faces is studied. An exact solution of the dynamic stress intensity factors is obtained from a linear superposition of the solution of Lamb’s problem and a solution of a dislocation emitting from the crack tip. The stress intensity factors exhibit square-root singularity upon the arrival of the Rayleigh wave at the crack tip. As the Rayleigh wave passes through the crack tip, the stress intensity factors either instantaneously assume the static values or gradually approach to zero. Several numerical examples are given for isotropic, cubic and orthotropic materials.

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。
