Interfacial fracture of layered magnetoelectroelastic materials

A problem for an interface crack located in a layered magnetoelectroelastic material strip of semi-infinite length is solved. A closed-form solution is obtained for anti-plane mechanical and in-plane electric and magnetic fields. Explicit expressions for stresses and electric and magnetic fields, together with their intensity factors and the energy release rate, are obtained. The extreme cases of impermeable and permeable cracks are discussed. Using the basic solution for a single crack, solutions for two collinear interface cracks in an infinitely long layered magnetoelectroelastic medium, an interface crack in an infinitely long layered magnetoelectroelastic medium, and an edge crack at the interface of a semi-infinitely long layered magnetoelectroelastic medium are also obtained.

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.     

Closed-form solutions for two collinear dielectric cracks in a magnetoelectroelastic solid

The problem of two collinear electromagnetically dielectric cracks in a magnetoelectroelastic material is investigated under in-plane electro-magneto-mechanical loadings. The semi-permeable crack-face boundary conditions are adopted to simulate the case of two collinear cracks full of a dielectric interior. Utilizing the Fourier transform technique, the boundary-value problem is reduced to solving singular integral equations with Cauchy kernel, which then are solved explicitly. The intensity factors of stress, electric displacement, magnetic induction, crack opening displacement (COD) and the energy release rates near the inner and outer crack tips are determined in closed forms for two cases of possible far-field electro-magneto-mechanical loadings respectively. Numerical results for a BaTiO₃–CoFe₂O₄ composite are carried out to show the effects of applied mechanical loadings on the crack-face electric displacement and magnetic induction, the stress intensity factor and the COD intensity factor, respectively. The obtained results reveal that when the applied mechanical loading is stress, applied electromagnetic loadings have no influences on the stress intensity factor. When the applied mechanical loadings is train, the applied positive electromagnetic loadings decrease the intensity factors of stress and COD, and the applied negative ones increase the intensity factors of stress and COD. The variations of energy release rates are also given to show the effects of the geometry of two collinear dielectric cracks.     

Stress intensity factors for three cracks at the interfaces of a graded layer bonding two different materials

We consider two dissimilar elastic half-planes bonded by a nonhomogeneous elastic layer in which there is one crack at the lower interface between the elastic layer and the lower half-plane and two cracks at the upper interface between the elastic layer and the upper half-plane. The stress intensity factors for these three cracks are solved for when tension is applied perpendicular to the interface cracks. The material properties of the bonding layer vary continuously between those of the lower half-plane and those of the upper half-plane. The differences in the crack surface displacements are expanded in a series of functions that are zero outside the cracks. The unknown coefficients in the series are solved by the Schmidt method so as to satisfy the conditions inside the cracks. The stress intensity factors are calculated numerically for selected crack configurations.

Mathematical model for crack arrest of an infinite plate weakened by a finite and two semi-infinite cracks

The problem of an unbounded plate weakened by three quasi-static coplanar and collinear straight cracks: two semi-infinite cracks and a finite crack situated symmetrically between two semi-infinite cracks, is investigated. The plate is subjected to uniform unidirectional in-plane tension at infinite boundary. Developed plastic zones are arrested by distributing cohesive yield point stress over their rims. The solution is obtained using complex variable technique. Closed form analytic expressions are derived for load bearing capacity and crack-tip-opening displacement (CTOD). A case study is presented for CTOD and load bearing capacity versus crack length, plastic zone length and inter-crack distance etc. Results are presented graphically and analyzed.     

An exact deformation analysis for the magneto-electro-elastic fiber-reinforced thin plate

A closed form expressions for bending problem of magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) rectangular thin plates are derived, the exact solutions for the deformation behaviors of the fiber-reinforced BaTiO₃/CoFe₂O₄ composites subjected to certain types of surface loads are analytically obtained. Based on Kirchhoff thin-plate theory, structural characteristics such as elastic displacements, electric potential and magnetic induction for magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) rectangular plates are investigated, the governing equation in terms of the transverse displacement is presented in a rather compact form due to the omission of the transverse shear deformation and rotatory inertia. The material coefficients for the MEE plate can be uniquely expressed by the volume-fraction (v.f.) of piezoelectric constituent BaTiO₃ in the fiber-reinforced composite, and are tabulated with 25% offset of the volume-fraction. The deformation variations of the MEE thin plate with closed-circuit electric restriction are evaluated analytically according to their specified boundary conditions, and the effects of the volume-fractions on the deformations variations are discussed. It can be found that all the results obtained by using the proposed model have reached good agreements with the other available research works, whereas, the present study provides a much simpler way in seeking the analytic solutions for the interactively coupled quantities of a multiphase medium.

An anisotropic flow law for incompressible polycrystalline materials

New and explicit anisotropic constitutive equations between the stretching and deviatoric stress tensors for the two- and three-dimensional cases of incompressible polycrystalline materials are presented. The anisotropy is assumed to be driven by an Orientation Distribution Function (ODF). The polycrystal is composed of transversally isotropic crystallites, the lattice orientation of which can be characterized by a single unit vector. The proposed constitutive equations are valid for any frame of reference and for every state of deformation. The basic assumption of this method is that the principle directions of the stretching and of the stress deviator are the same in the isotropic as well as in the anisotropic case. This means that the proposed constitutive laws are able to model the effects of anisotropy only via a change of the fluidity due to a change of the ODF. Such an assumption is justified to guarantee that, besides knowledge of the parameters involved in the isotropic constitutive equation, the anisotropic material response is completely characterized by only one additional parameter, a type of enhancement factor. Explicit comparisons with experimental data are conducted for Ih–ice. Dedicated to Prof. L.W. Morland on the occasion of his 70^th birthday Received: July 6, 2004; revised: November 8, 2004

An a priori error analysis of a type III thermoelastic problem with two porosities

In this work, we study, from the numerical point of view, a type III thermoelastic model with double porosity. The thermomechanical problem is written as a linear system composed of hyperbolic partial differential equations for the displacements and the two porosities, and a parabolic partial differential equation for the thermal displacement. An existence and uniqueness result is recalled. Then, we perform its a priori error numerical analysis approximating the resulting variational problem by using the finite element method and the implicit Euler scheme. The linear convergence of the algorithm is derived under suitable additional regularity conditions. Finally, some numerical simulations are shown to demonstrate the accuracy of the approximations and the dependence of the solution on a coupling coefficient.

An equivalence between two algorithms for quadratic programming

In this paper, we demonstrate that the Van de Panne—Whinston symmetric simplex method when applied to a certain implicit formulation of a quadratic program generates the same sequence of primal feasible vectors as does the Von Hohenbalken simplicial decomposition algorithm specialized to the same program. Such an equivalence of the two algorithms extends earlier results for a least-distance program due to Cottle—Djang.This research was prepared as part of the activities of the Management Sciences Research Group, Carnegie-Mellon University, under Contract N00014-75-C-0621 NR 047-048 with the Office of Naval Research.
