Strain energy density of a circular cavity buried in semi-infinite functionally graded materials subjected to shear waves

In this paper, based on the theory of multiple scattering of elastic waves, employing wave functions expansion method, multiple scattering and strain energy density in semi-infinite functional graded materials with a circular cavity are investigated, the analytical solution of the problem is derived, and the numerical solution of the strain energy density factors around the cavity is also presented. The effects of the distance between the cavity and the edge of the materials, the wave number and the non-homogeneous parameter of materials on strain energy density factors are analyzed. From analysis, it can be seen that when the non-homogeneous parameter of materials is less than zero, it has less influence on the maximum strain energy density factor around the cavity; however, it has greater influence on the distribution of strain energy density factors around the cavity. When the non-homogeneous parameter of materials is greater than zero, it has greater influence on both the maximum strain energy density factor and the distribution of strain energy density factor around the cavity, especially in the case that the distance between the cavity and the edge is comparatively little.     

Dynamic stress of a circular cavity buried in a semi-infinite functionally graded piezoelectric material subjected to shear waves

The paper presents a theoretical method to investigate the multiple scattering of shear waves and dynamic stress around a circular cavity in a semi-infinite functionally graded piezoelectric material. The analytical solutions of wave fields are expressed by employing wave function expansion method and the expanded mode coefficients are determined by satisfying the boundary conditions of the cavity. Image method is used to satisfy the free boundary condition of the semi-infinite structure. According to the analytical expression of this problem, the numerical solutions of the dynamic stress concentration factor around the cavity are presented. The effects of the piezoelectric property, the buried depth of the cavity, the incident wave number and the nonhomogeneous parameter of materials on the dynamic stress around the cavity are analyzed. Analyses show that the piezoelectric property has great effect on the dynamic stress in the region of intermediate frequency and the effect increases with increasing wave number. When the nonhomogeneous parameter of materials is less than zero, it has less influence on the maximum dynamic stress around the cavity; however, it has greater influence on the distribution of the dynamic stress around the cavity. When the nonhomogeneous parameter of materials is greater than zero, it has greater influence on both the maximum dynamic stress and the distribution of dynamic stress around the cavity, especially in the case that the buried depth is comparatively small.

Multiple scattering of electro-elastic waves from a buried cavity in a functionally graded piezoelectric material layer

This paper presents a theoretical method to investigate the multiple scattering of electro-elastic waves and the dynamic stress around a buried cavity in a functionally graded piezoelectric material layer bonded to a homogeneous piezoelectric material. The analytical solutions of wave fields are expressed by employing wave function expansion method, and the expanded mode coefficients are determined by satisfying the boundary conditions around the cavity. The image method is used to satisfy the mechanical and electrically short conditions at the free surface of the structure. According to the analytical expression of this problem, the numerical solutions of the dynamic stress concentration factor around the cavity are presented. The effects of the piezoelectric property, the position of the cavity in the layer, the incident wave number and the material properties on the dynamic stress around the cavity are analyzed. Analyses show that the piezoelectric property has great effect on the dynamic stress in the region of higher frequencies, and the effect increases with the decrease of the thickness of FGPM layer. If the material properties of the homogeneous piezoelectric material are greater than those at the surface of the structure, the dynamic stress resulting from the piezoelectric property is greater. The effect material properties at the two boundaries of FGPM layer on the distribution of dynamic stress around the cavity is also examined.     

Diffraction of waves by semi-infinite breakwater using finite and infinite elements

A finite and infinite element model is derived to predict wave patterns around a semi-infinite breakwater in water of constant depth. Both circular and square meshes of elements are used. The wave theory used is that of Berkhoff. The appropriate boundary conditions for finite and infinite boundaries are described. The singularity in the velocity at the breakwater tip is modelled effectively using the technique of Henshell and Shaw originally developed in elasticity. The results agree well with the analytical solution. In addition the problem of waves incident upon a semi-infinite breakwater and parabolic shoal, where both diffraction and refraction are present, is solved. There is no analytical solution for this case. The combination of finite and infinite elements is found to be an effective and accurate technique for such problems.

Applications of the method of complex functions to dynamic stress concentrations

The complex function method used in the solution of static stress concentration around an irregularly shaped cavity in an infinite elastic plane is generalized to the case of dynamic loading. This paper presents the solutions of two dimensional elastic wave equations in terms of complex wave functions, and general expressions for boundary conditions for steady state incident waves. Dynamic stresses around a cavity of arbitrary shape are then expressed in series of complex ‘domain functions’, the coefficient of the series can be determined by truncating a set of infinite algebraic equations. Results of dynamic stress concentration factors for circular and elliptical cavities are given in this paper.     

Longitudinal wave response of a chiral slab interposed between micropolar solid half-spaces

A plane longitudinal displacement wave is made incident upon a chiral slab of uniform thickness, interposed between two different semi-infinite micropolar elastic solids. The amplitude ratios of various reflected and refracted waves are obtained using the two possible sets of boundary conditions. The variations of various amplitude ratios with the angle of incidence as well as with the frequency are depicted graphically, for a specific problem. The effect of chirality parameter and the thickness of the chiral slab on these amplitude ratios have been noticed. Results of some earlier researchers have also been reduced as special cases of present formulation.

Scattering of flexural wave in a thin plate with multiple circular holes by using the multipole Trefftz method

The scattering of flexural wave by multiple circular holes in an infinite thin plate is analytically solved by using the multipole Trefftz method. The dynamic moment concentration factor (DMCF) along the edge of circular holes is determined. Based on the addition theorem, the solution of the field represented by multiple coordinate systems centered at each circle can be transformed into one coordinate system centered at one circle, where the boundary conditions are given. In this way, a coupled infinite system of simultaneous linear algebraic equations is derived as an analytical model for the scattering of flexural wave by multiple holes in an infinite plate subject to the incident flexural wave. The formulation is general and is easily applicable to dealing with the problem containing multiple circular holes. Although the number of hole is not limited in our proposed method, the numerical results of an infinite plate with three circular holes are presented in the truncated finite system. The effects of both incident wave number and the central distance among circular holes on the DMCF are investigated. Numerical results show that the DMCF of three holes is larger than that of one, when the space among holes is small and meanwhile the specified direction of incident wave is subjected to the plate.

Scattering of SH waves by embedded cavities

Scattering of plane SH waves by sub-surface circular cavities and thin slits in a semi-infinite elastic medium is analyzed in this paper. Two methods of solution are used to obtain the displacements on the free-surface. One of these is a method of matched asymptotic expansion that is very effective when the wavelength is long compared to the dimensions of the cavity (or the crack). The other is a combined finite element and analytical technique, which is useful in the long to intermediate wavelength range. The results obtained by these two techniques are shown to agree quite well for long wave-lengths. Numerical results for the surface displacements for various incident wave angles are seen to depend significantly on the depth and size of the cavity and the crack. In the latter case the orientation of the crack has a significant influence on the scattered field.     

The behavior of two non-symmetrical permeable cracks emanating from an elliptical hole in a piezoelectric solid

Based on the Stroh-type formalism, we present a concise analytic method to solve the problem of complicated defects in piezoelectric materials. Using this method and the technique of conformal mapping, the problem of two non-symmetrical collinear cracks emanating from an elliptical hole in a piezoelectric solid is investigated under remotely uniform in-plane electric loading and anti-plane mechanical loading. The exact solutions of the field intensity factors and the energy release rate are presented in closed-form under the permeable electric boundary condition. With the variation of the geometrical parameters, the present results can be reduced to the well-known results of a mode-III crack in piezoelectric materials. Moreover, new special models used for simulating more practical defects in a piezoelectric solid are obtained, such as two symmetrical edge cracks and single edge crack emanating from an elliptical hole or circular hole, T-shaped crack, cross-shaped crack, and semi-infinite plane with an edge crack. Numerical results are then presented to reveal the effects of geometrical parameters and the applied mechanical loading on the field intensity factors and the energy release rate.     

EFFECT OF FRACTIONAL ORDER PARAMETER ON THERMOELASTIC BEHAVIORS IN INFINITE ELASTIC MEDIUM WITH A CYLINDRICAL CAVITY

The thermal shock problems involved with fractional order generalized theory is studied by an analytical method. The asymptotic solutions for thermal responses induced by transient thermal shock are derived by means of the limit theorem of Laplace transform. An infinite solid with a cylindrical cavity subjected to a thermal shock at its inner boundary is studied. The propagation of thermal wave and thermal elastic wave, as well as the distributions of displacement,temperature and stresses are obtained from these asymptotic solutions. The investigation on the effect of fractional order parameter on the propagation of two waves is also conducted.     

Stress concentration of an ellipsoidal inclusion of revolution in a semi-infinite body under biaxial tension

Summary This paper deals with the stress concentration problem of an ellipsoidal inclusion of revolution in a semi-infinite body under biaxial tension. The problem is formulated as a system of singular integral equations with Cauchy-type or logarithmic-type singularities, where unknowns are densities of body forces distributed in the r- and z-directions in semi-infinite bodies having the same elastic constants as the ones of the matrix and inclusion. In order to satisfy the boundary conditions along the ellipsoidal boundary, four fundamental density functions proposed in [24, 25] are used. The body-force densities are approximated by a linear combination of fundamental density functions and polynomials. The present method is found to yield rapidly converging numerical results for stress distribution along the boundaries even when the inclusion is very close to the free boundary. The effect of the free surface on the stress concentration factor is discussed with varying the distance from the surface, the shape ratio and the elastic modulus ratio. The present results are compared with the ones of an ellipsoidal cavity in a semi-infinite body.accepted for publication 11 November 2003     

Mode i and mixed mode fields with incomplete crack tip plasticity

Plane strain slip line fields, in which plasticity does not fully surround the crack tip have been developed for mode I and mixed mode I\II cracks under contained yielding. Analytical solutions have been assembled using slip line theory for the plastic sectors and semi-infinite wedge solutions for the elastic sectors. These solutions are compared with finite element solutions based on modified boundary layer formulations. The analytical solutions agree well with numerical solutions, and form a family of fields with incomplete plasticity around the crack tip.
