Dynamic stress intensity factors of multiple cracks in a functionally graded orthotropic half-plane

In the present paper dynamic stress intensity factor and strain energy density factor of multiple cracks in the functionally graded orthotropic half-plane under time-harmonic loading are investigated. By utilizing the Fourier transformation technique the stress fields are obtained for a functionally graded orthotropic half-plane containing a Volterra screw dislocation. The variations of the material properties are assumed to be exponential forms which the equilibrium has an analytical solution. The dislocation solution is utilized to formulate integral equation for the half-plane weakened by multiple smooth cracks under anti-plane deformation. The integral equations are of Cauchy singular type at the location of dislocation which are solved numerically to obtain the dislocation density on the faces of the cracks. The dislocation densities are employed to determined stress intensity factor and strain energy density factors (SEDFs) for multiple smooth cracks under anti-plane deformation. Numerical examples are provided to show the effects of material properties and the crack configuration on the dynamic stress intensity factors and SEDFs of the functionally graded orthotropic half-plane with multiple curved cracks.     

Dislocation technique to obtain the dynamic stress intensity factors for multiple cracks in a half-plane under impact load

In this study, the transient response of multiple cracks subjected to shear impact load in a half-plane is investigated. At first, exact analytical solution for the transient response of Volterra-type dislocation in a half-plane is obtained by using the Cagniard-de Hoop method of Laplace inversion and is expressed in explicit forms.

These equations are of Cauchy singular type at the location of dislocation solved numerically to obtain the dislocation density on the cracks faces. The dislocation densities are employed to determine dynamic stress intensity factors history for multiple smooth cracks. Finally, several examples are presented to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed solution.

In-plane stress analysis of an orthotropic plane containing multiple defects

The solution of Volterra type climb and glide edge dislocations is utilized to formulate integral equations for an orthotropic homogeneous infinite plane weakened by multiple smooth cracks and/or cavities. Cavities are considered as closed curved cracks without singularity. The integral equations are of Cauchy singular type which are converted to hypersingular integral equations. These equations are then solved numerically to determine stress intensity factors for cracks and hoop stress on the cavities. The results for isotropic and orthotropic planes are compared with available solutions in literature and excellent agreement is observed. The formulation allows stress analysis of orthotropic planes with several arbitrarily oriented cracks and cavities.

Mixed mode axisymmetric annular cracks in a finite layer: Off angle crack initiation

The solutions of axisymmetric Volterra type climb and glide edge dislocations are obtained in a layer by means of the Hankel transforms. Utilizing the same procedure, Green’s function solution is obtained for a layer under self-equilibration normal ring traction. The distributed dislocation technique is used to construct integral equations for a system of co-axial annular cracks where the layer is under axisymmetric normal loads. These equations are solved numerically to obtain dislocation density on the cracks surfaces. The results are employed to determine stress intensity factors for annular and penny-shaped cracks and the interaction between two co-axial penny-shaped cracks is studied. Moreover, the stress intensity factors of the interacting cracks are determined such that they can be further used in conjunction with strain energy density (SED) failure criterion to obtain the possible direction of crack initiation that may not be apparent under mixed mode conditions.

Scattering of SHPlease define abbreviation SH waves by arc-shaped interface cracks between a cylindrical magneto-electro-elastic inclusion and matrix: near fields

Summary In this paper, the scattering of SH waves by a magneto-electro-elastic cylindrical inclusion partially debonded from its surrounding magneto-electro-elastic material is investigated by using the wavefunction expansion method and a singular integral equation technique. The debonding regions are modeled as multiple arc-shaped interface cracks with non-contacting faces. The magneto-electric impermeable boundary conditions are adopted. By expressing the scattered fields as wavefunction expansions with unknown coefficients, the mixed boundary-value problem is firstly reduced to a set of simultaneous dual-series equations. Then, dislocation density functions are introduced as unknowns to transform these dual-series equations to Cauchy singular integral equations of the first type,which can be numerically solved easily. The solution is valid for arbitrary number and size of the arc-shaped interface cracks. Finally, numerical results of the dynamic stress intensity factors are presented for the cases of one debond. The effects of incident direction, crack configuration and various material parameters on the dynamic stress intensity factors are discussed. The solution of this problem is expected to have applications in the investigation of dynamic fracture properties of magneto-electro-elastic materials with cracks.The work was supported by the National Natural Science Fund of China (Project No. 19772029) and the Research Fund for Doctors of Hebei Province, China (Project No. B2001213).

Analysis of multiple axisymmetric annular cracks in a piezoelectric medium

An axisymmetric annular electric dislocation is defined. The solution of axisymmetric electric and Volterra climb and glide dislocations in an infinite transversely isotropic piezoelectric domain is obtained by means of Hankel transforms. The distributed dislocation technique is used to construct integral equations for a system of co-axial annular cracks with so-called permeable and impermeable electric boundary conditions on the crack faces where the domain is under axisymmetric electromechanical loading. These equations are solved numerically to obtain dislocation densities on the crack surfaces. The dislocation densities are employed to determine field intensity factors for a system of interacting annular and/or penny-shaped cracks.

The dynamic behavior of two parallel symmetric cracks in functionally graded piezoelectric/piezomagnetic materials

The dynamic behavior of two parallel symmetric cracks in functionally graded piezoelectric/piezomagnetic materials subjected to harmonic antiplane shear waves is investigated using the Schmidt method. The present problem can be solved using the Fourier transform and the technique of dual integral equations, in which the unknown variables are jumps of displacements across the crack surfaces, not dislocation density functions. To solve the dual integral equations, the jumps of displacements across the crack surfaces are directly expanded as a series of Jacobi polynomials. Finally, the relations among the electric, magnetic flux, and dynamic stress fields near crack tips can be obtained. Numerical examples are provided to show the effect of the functionally graded parameter, the distance between the two parallel cracks, and the circular frequency of the incident waves upon the stress, electric displacement, and magnetic flux intensity factors at crack tips.
