Perfect elastic-viscoplastic field at mode I dynamic propagating crack-tip

The viscosity of material is considered at propagating crack-tip. Under the assumption that the artificial viscosity coefficient is in inverse proportion to power law of the plastic strain rate, an elastic-viscoplastic asymptotic analysis is carried out for moving crack-tip fields in power-hardening materials under plane-strain condition. A continuous solution is obtained containing no discontinuities. The variations of numerical solution are discussed for mode I crack according to each parameter. It is shown that stress and strain both possess exponential singularity. The elasticity, plasticity and viscosity of material at crack-tip only can be matched reasonably under linear-hardening condition. And the tip field contains no elastic unloading zone for mode I crack. It approaches the limiting case, crack-tip is under ultra-viscose situation and energy accumulates, crack-tip begins to propagate under different compression situations.

I型定常扩展裂纹尖端的弹黏塑性场

考虑材料在扩展裂纹尖端的黏性效应，假设黏性系数与塑性应变率的幂次成反比，对幂硬化材料中平面应变扩展裂纹尖端场进行了弹黏塑性渐近分析，得到了不含间断的连续解，并讨论了I型裂纹数值解的性质随各参数的变化规律. 分析表明应力和应变均具有幂奇异性，并且只有在线性硬化时，尖端场的弹、黏、塑性才可以合理匹配. 对于I型裂纹，裂尖场不含弹性卸载区. 当裂纹扩展速度趋于零时，动态解趋于准静态解，表明准静态解是动态解的特殊形式；如果进一步考虑硬化系数为零的极限情况，便可退化为Hui和Riedel的非线性黏弹性解.     

Anisotropic plastic stress fields at a slowly propagating crack tip

Under the condition that any perfectly plastic stress components at a crack tip are nothing but the functions of 0 only making use of equilibrium equations. Hill anisotropic yield condition and unloading stress-strain relations, in this paper, we derive the general analytical expressions of anisotropic plastic stress fields at the slowly steady propagating tips of plane and anti-plane strain. Applying these general analytical expressions to the concrete cracks, the analytical expressions of anisotropic plastic stress fields at the-slowly steady propagating tips of Mode I and Mode III cracks are obtained. For the isotropic plastic material, the anisotropic plastic stress fields at a slowly propagating crack tip become the perfectly plastic stress fields.

The elastic-viscoplastic model proposed in [1] is used in this paper to analyze the quasi-statically growing crack field and dynamic propagating crack-tip field of mode III. By analysis, we obtained more reasonable results than those of an elastic-plastic material. When the effect of rate sensitivity of a material is considered, it is found that only the quasi-statically growing crack-tip field is the special case of dynamic propagating crack-tip field when Mach numberM approaches zero.     

ASYMPTOTIC DYNAMIC SOLUTION TO THE MODE Ⅰ PROPAGATING CRACK-TIP FIELD IN ELASTIC-VISCOPLASTIC MATERIAL

A new elastic-viscoplastic mode was proposed to analyze the stress and strain fields surrounding the tip of a propagating mode Ⅰ cracks. A proper displacement pattern was suggested and asymptotic equations were derived, and numerical solutions were illustrated. The analysis and calculation show that the crack-tip field is of logarithmic singularity for smaller viscosity, however no solution exists for large viscosity. By a careful analysis and comparison, it is found that the present results retain all merits of those given by Gao Yu-chen, while removing existing problems.

Elastic-viscoplastic fields near the tip of a propagating crack under anti-plane shear

The elastic-viscoplastic model proposed by Bingham was used to analyse the stress and strain surrounding the tip of a propagating crack under antiplane shear. The proper displacement pattern was given ; the asymptotic equations were derived and solved numerically. The analysis and calculation show that for smaller viscosity the crack-tip possesses logarthmic singularity, and for larger viscosity it possesses power-law singularity.In critical case, the two kinds of singularity are consistent with each other. The result revealed the important role of viscosity for crack-tip field.     

Antiplane shear fields near a crack-tip in a brittle damaged material

In this paper, a simplified brittle damage model is proposed according to the Mazarz-Lemaitre damage model for concrete. A closed-form solution for a mode III crack is obtained based on the simplified model under small scale damage conditions, which allows for discontinuities of displacement-gradient and tangential stress on the damage boundary. It is pointed out that the discontinuities of field variables near the tip region exist for the brittle damaged material induced by the softening effect of the material.

Fields near a rapidly propagating crack-tip in an elastic perfectly-plastic material

Dynamic effects are investigated for the steady-state fields of stress and deformation in the immediate vicinity of a rapidly propagating crack-tip in an elastic perfectly-plastic material. Both the cases of antiplane strain and in-plane strain have been considered. The governing equations in the plastic regions are hyperbolic in nature. Simple wave solutions together with uniform fields provide explicit asymptotic expressions for the stresses and the strains in the near-tip regions. The dynamic solutions describe a region of plastic loading which completely surrounds the propagating crack-tip.
