The Reissner-Sagoci type problem for a non-homogeneous elastic cylinder embedded in an elastic non-homogeneous half-space

The problem considered is that of the torsion of a non-homogeneouselastic cylinder, which is embedded in a non-homogeneous elastichalf-space (matrix) of different rigidity modulus. A rigid discis bonded to the flat surface of the cylinder and torque isapplied to the cylinder through a rigid disc. It is assumedthat there is perfect bonding at the common cylindrical surface.Using integral transformation techniques the solution of theproblem is reduced to dual integral equations. Later on thesolution of the dual integral equations is transformed intothe solution of a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind.Solving the Fredholm integral equation numerically the numericalresults for torque and shear stress inside the cylinder areobtained and displayed graphically to demonstrate the effectof non-homogeneity of the elastic material on the torque andshear stress.     

Debonding of an elastic inhomogeneity of arbitrary shape in anti-plane shear

We investigate the anti-plane shear problem of a curvilinear crack lying along the interface of an arbitrarily shaped elastic inhomogeneity embedded in an infinite matrix subjected to uniform stresses at infinity. Complex variable and conformal mapping techniques are used to derive an analytical solution in series form. The problem is first reduced to a non-homogeneous Riemann–Hilbert problem, the solution of which can be obtained by evaluating the associated Cauchy integral. A set of linear algebraic equations is obtained from the compatibility condition imposed on the resulting analytic function defined in the inhomogeneity and its Faber series expansion. Each of the unknown coefficients in the corresponding analytic functions can then be uniquely determined by solving the linear algebraic equations, which are written concisely in matrix form. The resulting analytical solution is then used to quantify the displacement jump across the debonded section of the interface as well as the traction distribution along the bonded section of the interface. In addition, our solution allows us to obtain mode-III stress intensity factors at the two crack tips. The solution to the anti-plane problem of a partially debonded elliptical inhomogeneity containing a confocal crack is also derived using a similar method.     

An axisymmetric problem of an embedded mixed-mode crack in a functionally graded magnetoelectroelastic infinite medium

This paper investigates the problem of an axisymmetric penny shaped crack embedded in an infinite functionally graded magneto electro elastic medium. The loading consists of magnetoelectromechanical loads applied on the crack surfaces assumed to be magneto electrically impermeable. The material’s gradient is parallel to the axisymmetric direction and is perpendicular to the crack plane. An anisotropic constitutive law is adopted to model the material behavior. The governing equations are converted analytically using Hankel transform into coupled singular integral equations, which are solved numerically to yield the crack tip stress, electric displacement and magnetic induction intensity factors. A similar problem but with a different crack morphology, that is a plane crack embedded in an infinite functionally graded magneto electro elastic medium, was considered by the authors in a previous work (Rekik et al., 2012) [25]. While the overall solution schemes look similar, the axisymmetric problem resulted in more mathematical complexities and let to different conclusions with respect to the influence of coupling between elastic, electric and magnetic effects. The main focus of this paper is to study the effect of material non-homogeneity on the fields’ intensity factors to understand further the behavior of graded magnetoelectroelastic materials containing penny shaped cracks and to inspect the effect of varying the crack geometry.     

The interaction between a penny-shaped crack and a spherical inclusion under torsion

The axisymmetric interaction problem of an elastic spherical inclusion with a penny-shaped crack in an elastic space under torsion is considered. The superposition and reflection methods [3]-[4] are used to solve the mixed boundary value problem in question. With the help of the dual integral equations technique and appropriate re-expansion of the eigenfunction, the problem is reduced to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations of the second kind. The matrix elements of that system decrease exponentially along the rows and the columns. Its unique solution is proved to exist in a proper class of sequences and is shown to be represented by a convergent, in the vicinity of the origin, power series in a geometric parameter, equal to the ratio of the radius of the inclusion to its distance from the crack. This procedure provides an efficient formula for the stress intensity factor.

Stress analysis in a sheet with multiple cracks

The stress field due to the presence of a Volterra dislocation in an isotropic elastic sheet is obtained. The stress components exhibit the familiar Cauchy type singularity at dislocation location. The solution is utilized to construct integral equations for elastic sheets weakened by multiple embedded or edge cracks. The cracks are perpendicular to the sheet boundary and applied traction is such that crack closing may not occur. The integral equations are solved numerically and stress intensity factors (SIFs) are determined on a crack edges.

Interaction between three moving Griffith cracks at the interface of two dissimilar elastic media

The paper deals with the interaction between three Griffith cracks propagating under antiplane shear stress at the interface of two dissimilar infinite elastic half-spaces. The Fourier transform technique is used to reduce the elastodynamic problem to the solution of a set of integral equations which has been solved by using the finite Hilbert transform technique and Cooke’s result. The analytical expressions for the stress intensity factors at the crack tips are obtained. Numerical values of the interaction effect have been computed for and results show that interaction effects are either shielding or amplification depending on the location of each crack with respect to other and crack tip spacing.

Analysis of arbitrarily shaped planar cracks in two-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystals with thermal effects. Part I: Theoretical solutions

An extended displacement discontinuity (EDD) boundary integral equation method is proposed for analysis of arbitrarily shaped planar cracks in two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal quasicrystals (QCs) with thermal effects. The EDDs include the phonon and phason displacement discontinuities and the temperature discontinuity on the crack surface. Green's functions for unit point EDDs in an infinite three-dimensional medium of 2D hexagonal QC are derived using the Hankel transform method. Based on the Green's functions and the superposition theorem, the EDD boundary integral equations for an arbitrarily shaped planar crack in an infinite 2D hexagonal QC body are established. Using the EDD boundary integral equation method, the asymptotic behavior along the crack front is studied and the classical singular index of 1/2 is obtained at the crack edge. The extended stress intensity factors are expressed in terms of the EDDs across crack surfaces. Finally, the energy release rate is obtained using the definitions of the stress intensity factors.

Impact response of a cracked layer embedded in a composite

The impact response of a laminate composite with a crack or flaw normal to the interface is studied in terms of the intensification of the dynamic stresses around the crack border. Analytically, the laminate is modeled by a single layer with the crack sandwiched between two other layers of dissimilar material. Fourier and Laplace transforms are employed such that the problem reduces to the solution of a system of dual integral equations. Numerical results for the dynamic stress intensity factor are obtained by solving a Fredholm integral equation. The dynamic stress intensity factors are shown to fluctuate as a function of time, reaching a maximum that depends on the elastic properties of the composite and the flaw size.Institute of Fracture and Solid Mechanics, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennysylvania 18015.

An interface crack moving between magnetoelectroelastic and functionally graded elastic layers

A constant crack moving along the interface of magnetoelectroelastic and functionally graded elastic layers under anti-plane shear and in-plane electric and magnetic loading is investigated by the integral transform method. Fourier transforms are applied to reduce the mixed boundary value problem of the crack to dual integral equations, which are expressed in terms of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. The singular stress, electric displacement and magnetic induction near the crack tip are obtained asymptotically and the corresponding field intensity factors are defined. Numerical results show that the stress intensity factors are influenced by the crack moving velocity, the material properties, the functionally graded parameter and the geometric size ratios. The propagation of the moving crack may bring about crack kinking, depending on the crack moving velocity and the material properties across the interface.
