Stress Intensity Factors near the Cracks on the Edges of Openings in Composite Plates

Based on the photoelasticity method, the behavior of stress intensity factors (SIFs) near cracks propagating from the edges of openings in plates made of elastic and linearly viscoelastic fibrous composite materials is studied. It is found that the relative value of the SIF, K ₁/K ₁ ⁰ (K ₁ ⁰=₀c), near the crack tips on the edges of openings in composite plates is a function of the ratio c/R, whose numerical values depend on the mechanical properties of materials of the plates. Using the quasi-elastic method for solving the viscoelastic problems, the effect of viscoelastic properties of the plate material on the value of K ₁/K ₁ ⁰ is estimated. It is shown that the values of the function K ₁(t)/>/K ₁ ⁰ near the cracks on the opening edges in plates made of linearly viscoelastic fibrous composites grow under creep.     

Conditions for Cracking and Debond Development at Partially Bonded Bimaterial Half-Planes

Fracture phenomena at the debond tip of partially bonded bimaterial half-planes subjected to concentrated normal forces, couples, and uniform tension are considered. The crack initiation conditions are described by the stress distribution before the initiation and the energy release rate of the crack immediately after the initiation. The debond development conditions are described by the stress distribution and the energy release rate of the debond before its initiation. When both the crack and the debond have chances to occur, or when cracks can arise in both the materials, the fracture phenomena are predicted by comparing the ratio of energy release rates and the ratio of fracture toughnesses.

Mathematical modelling and the study of the influence of initial stresses on the SIF and ERR at the crack tips in a plate-strip of orthotropic material

A plate-strip fabricated from the orthotropic material and containing a crack whose edges are parallel to the face planes of the plate is considered. It is assumed that the strip is stretched (or compressed) initially along the crack edges by uniformly distributed external normal forces acting on the simply supported ends of the plate-strip. After this initial stretching (or compression) the crack edges are loaded by additional uniformly distributed normal (opening) forces. As a result of the action of these additional forces the stress concentration characterized by the stress intensity factor (SIF) of mode I or by the energy release rate (ERR) of mixed mode arises at the crack tips. In this paper, the influence of the initial stresses on the SIF or ERR is modelled mathematically by the use of the three-dimensional linearized theory of elasticity. The aim of the present investigations is to study the effect of the mechanical–orthotropic properties of the plate-strip material on this influence by the use of the finite element method (FEM) modelling of the corresponding boundary-value problem.     

The Effect of Structural Curvings on the Stress Distribution in a Rigidly Fixed Composite Plate under Forced Vibration

Based on the exact three-dimensional equations of continuum mechanics and the Akbarov-Guz' continuum theory, the problem on forced vibrations of a rectangular plate made of a composite material with a periodically curved structure is formulated. The plate is rigidly fixed along the Ox ₁ axis. Using the semi-analytic method of finite elements, a numerical procedure is elaborated for investigating this problem. The numerical results on the effect of structural curvings on the stress distribution in the plate under forced vibrations are analyzed. It is shown that the disturbances of the stress ₂₂ in a hinge-supported plate are greater than in a rigidly fixed one. Also, it is found that the structural curvings considerably affect the stress distribution in plates both under static and dynamic loading.     

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.     

On the stress distribution in a rectangular thick plate of a composite material with curved structure under forced vibration

The stress distribution in a rectangular plate of a multilayer composite material with a periodically curved structure under forced vibration is studied. It is assumed that the plate is hinge supported at opposite sides. The investigation is carried out within the exact three-dimensional linear theory of elasticity. The mechanical relationships of the plate material are described by the continuum theory of Akbarov and Guz'. The numerical results obtained by the finite element method show that even in low-frequency dynamic loading of the plate the extreme values of stresses, which appear as a result of the curving in the plate structure, considerably exceed those in the corresponding static loading.Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan, Baku, Azerbaijan.

Numerical simulation of two-stage combustion in SI engine with prechamber

Burning lean mixture in spark ignition (SI) engine leads to decrease in temperature of combustion process and is one of the methods of limiting nitric oxide emission and increasing the engine efficiency. The two-stage combustion system of stratified mixture (engine with prechamber) can be an effective method of lean mixture combustion. The paper presents the results of three-dimensional modeling of fuel mixture preparation and combustion in SI engine with sectional combustion chamber powered by liquefied fuel. Three dimensional modeling was performed in KIVA-3V code. The modeling results were compared with results obtained from the analysis of experimental measurements of two-stage combustion test engine operating at the Institute of Internal Combustion Engines and Control Engineering (Czestochowa University of Technology). The performed simulations of the combustion process provided data concerning the spatial and temporal distributions of turbulent kinetic energy, pressure, temperature and nitric oxides concentration in the combustion chambers of the engine. The engine model with two-stage combustion system properly represents the real processes which occur in the combustion chambers of the test engine. Pressure and temperature courses in function of CA obtained from the experiment and modeling were in good qualitative and quantitative consistence. Comparison of modeled and measured nitric oxide emissions revealed relatively significant discrepancies. In case of λ = 1.4, the measured values of NO_x concentration were 1.75 times higher than the modeled values. In case of λ = 2.0, the modeled and measured values were close to each other and were within the range of measurement error.     

Stress concentration/intensity around elliptical/circular cylinder shaped surface flaws in cross-ply plates and validity of St. Venant’s principle in the presence of interacting singularities

Effects of localized elliptical (circular being a special case) cylindrical surface flaws in laminated composite plates are investigated by using C°-type triangular composite plate elements, formulated on the assumptions of transverse inextensibility and layer-wise constant shear-angle theory (LCST). Numerical results for a cross-ply laminate compromised by the presence of an external part-through elliptical/circular cylindrical slot indicate the existence of severe cross-sectional warping in the vicinity of the surface flaw and plate boundaries. Furthermore, three-dimensional nature of the stress concentration factor in the neighborhood of the elliptical or circular cylinder shaped surface flaw boundary is clearly exhibited. Besides, very high stress concentration factors are found in the layer weakened by the surface flaw. Most importantly, the effects of stress singularity in the neighborhood of the circumferential re-entrant corner lines of the elliptical/circular cylindrical surface flaws, weakening laminated composite plates, are numerically assessed, because of their role in crack initiation. Finally, the interaction of this singularity with free edge stress singularity at the plate boundary, and the implication of such interactions (i.e., violation of St. Venant’s principle) in regards to testing of laminated composite specimens are thoroughly investigated.
