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

The extended displacement discontinuity (EDD) boundary element method is developed to analyze an arbitrarily shaped planar crack 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 face. Green's functions for uniformly distributed EDDs over triangular and rectangular elements for 2D hexagonal QCs are derived. Employing the proposed EDD boundary element method, a rectangular crack is analyzed to verify the Green's functions by discretizing the crack with rectangular and triangular elements. Furthermore, the elliptical crack problem for 2D hexagonal QCs is investigated. Normal, tangential, and thermal loads are applied on the crack face, and the numerical results are presented graphically.     

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.

Analysis of anti-plane interface cracks in one-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystal coating

The displacement discontinuity method is extended to study the fracture behavior of interface cracks in one-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystal coating subjected to anti-plane loading. The Fredholm integral equation of the first kind is established in terms of displacement discontinuities. The fundamental solution for anti-plane displacement discontinuity is derived by the Fourier transform method. The singularity of stress near the crack front is analyzed, and Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind are numerically adopted to solve the integral equations. The displacement discontinuities across crack faces, the stress intensity factors, and the energy release rate are calculated from the coefficients of Chebyshev polynomials. In combination with numerical simulations, a comprehensive study of influencing factors on the fracture behavior is conducted.

Multiple crack fatigue growth modeling by displacement discontinuity method with crack-tip elements

This paper presents a numerical approach for modeling multiple crack fatigue growth in a plane elastic infinite plate. It involves a generation of Bueckner’s principle, a displacement discontinuity method with crack-tip elements (a boundary element method) proposed recently by the author and an extension of Paris’ law to a multiple crack problem under mixed-mode loading. Because of an intrinsic feature of the boundary element method, a general multiple crack growth problem can be solved in a single-region formulation. In the numerical simulation, for each increment of crack extension, remeshing of existing boundaries is not necessary. Crack extension is conveniently modeled by adding new boundary elements on the incremental crack extension to the previous crack boundaries. Fatigue growth modeling of an inclined crack in an infinite plate under biaxial cyclic loads is taken into account to illustrate the effectiveness of the present numerical approach. As an example, the present numerical approach is used to study the fatigue growth of three parallel cracks with same length under uniaxial cyclic load. Many numerical results are given.     

Analysis solution method for 3D planar crack problems of two-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystals with thermal effects

An analysis solution method (ASM) is proposed for analyzing arbitrarily shaped planar cracks in two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal quasicrystal (QC) media. The extended displacement discontinuity (EDD) boundary integral equations governing three-dimensional (3D) crack problems are transferred to simplified integral-differential forms by introducing some complex quantities. The proposed ASM is based on the analogy between these EDD boundary equations for 3D planar cracks problems of 2D hexagonal QCs and those in isotropic thermoelastic materials. Mixed model crack problems under combined normal, tangential and thermal loadings are considered in 2D hexagonal QC media. By virtue of ASM, the solutions to 3D planar crack problems under various types of loadings for 2D hexagonal QCs are formulated through comparison to the corresponding solutions of isotropic thermoelastic materials which have been studied intensively and extensively. As an application, analytical solutions of a penny-shaped crack subjected uniform distributed combined loadings are obtained. Especially, the analytical solutions to a penny-shaped crack subjected to the anti-symmetric uniform thermal loading are first derived for 2D hexagonal QCs. Numerical solutions obtained by EDD boundary element method provide a way to verify the validity of the presented formulation. The influences of phonon-phason coupling effect on fracture parameters of 2D hexagonal QCs are assessed.

Some integral relations of Hankel transform type and applications to elasticity theory

The dominant part of an integral equation arising in connection with boundary value problems for the circular disc is evaluated in terms of orthogonal polynomials. This relation leads to an efficient method for numerical solution of the complete integral equation even in the presence of a complicated bounded kernel. The static problem of a circular crack in an infinite elastic body under general loads is used to illustrate vector boundary conditions leading to two coupled integral equations, while the problem of a vibrating flexible circular plate in frictionless contact with an elastic half space is solved by use of the associated numerical method.     

3‐D Contact problems for elastic wedges with Coulomb friction

3‐D quasi‐static contact problems for elastic wedges with Coulomb friction are reduced to integral equations and integral inequalities with unknown contact normal pressures. To obtain these equations and inequalities, Green's functions for the wedges, where one face of the wedges is either stress‐free or fixed, are needed. Using Fourier and Kontorovich–Lebedev integral transformations, all the stresses and displacements in the wedges can be constructed in terms of solutions of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind on the semiaxis. The Green's functions can be calculated as uniformly convergent power series in (1‐2ν), where νis Poisson's ratio. An exponential decay of the kernels and right‐hand sides of the Fredholm integral equations provides the applicability of the collocation method for simple and fast calculation of the Green's functions. For a half‐space, which is a special case of an elastic wedge, the kernels degenerate and the functions reduce to the well‐known Boussinesq and Cerruti solutions. Analysing the contact problems reveals that the Green's functions govern the kernels of the above mentioned integral equations and inequalities. Under the assumption that the punch has a smooth shape, the contact pressure is zero on the boundary of the unknown contact zone. Solving the contact problems with the help of the Galanov–Newton method, the normal contact pressure, the contact zone and the normal displacement around the contact zone can be determined simultaneously. In view of the numerical results, the influence of the friction forces on the punch force and the punch settlement is discussed. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A new boundary element method for the solution of plane steady-state thermoelastic fracture mechanics problems

An efficient numerical technique is developed for plane, homogeneous, isotropic, steady-state thermoelasticity problems involving arbitrary internal smooth and/or kinkedcracks. The thermal stress intensity factors and relative crack surface displacements due to steady-state temperature distributions are determined and compared to available solutions obtained by other methods. In these analyses the thermal boundary conditions across the crack surface are assumed to be insulated. The present approach involves coupling the direct boundary integral equations to newly developed crack integral equations.     

Numerical solution of a singular integral equation arising in a cruciform crack problem

A singular integral equation arising in a cruciform crack problem is investigated in the present paper. Based on the convex technique, the piecewise Taylor-series expansion method is extended by introducing a weight parameter. An approximate solution of the singular integral equation is constructed and its convergence and error estimate are made. The variations of the approximate solutions associating with stress intensity factors are analyzed by considering internal pressures of power and sine functions, respectively. By comparing with the known methods, the observations reveal that a good approximation can be achieved using less derivative times, less discretization points, and a suitable weight parameter. The obtained results show that the crack growth is dependent on applied mechanical loadings.

An efficient iteration approach for nonlinear boundary value problems in 2D piezoelectric semiconductors

Based on initial nonlinear constitutive equations, we establish the extended displacement and traction boundary integral equations for a piezoelectric medium with a volume electric charge, along with electron and electric current density boundary integral equations for a conductor with a volume electric current. Then, an iterative approach is proposed for investigation of boundary value problems in two-dimensional piezoelectric semiconductors (PSCs). Compared with extended displacements obtained by finite element analysis, this approach is validated via a rectangular PSC under extended external loads. Furthermore, as a numerical example, extended displacements across an elliptical hole in a rectangular PSC are investigated. It is shown that there is a stress concentration near the elliptical hole, which is closely dependent on its shape.
