Axially symmetric thermal stress of a penny-shaped crack subjected to general surface temperature

Summary Axially symmetric stress distribution in the neighbourhood of a penny-shaped crack stituated in an infinite isotropic elastic solid under general surface loadings and general surface temperature is considered. Surface loadings and surface temperature applied on the crack surfaces are axisymmetric but they are unsymmetrical about the crack planez=0. The equations of equilibrium of an elastic solid conducting heat have been solved using Hankel transforms and Abel integral operator of the second kind. The stresses, displacements, temperature and flux functions at a general point in the solid are derived in terms of stress, displacement, temperature and heat flux discontinuities at the plane of the crack. Using the boundary conditions and the continuity conditions problem is reduced to that of solving Abel integral equations of the first and the second kind. Explicit expressions are obtained for stress components, crack opening displacement and stress intensity factors in terms of the prescribed surface temperature functions. For some special cases of thermal loading these quantities are compared with those available in the literature. Stress at a general point of the medium is obtained in the special case, when the one face of the crack is subjected to constant temperature while the other face is kept at the reference temperature.

Axilsymmetrische Wärmespannungen eines münzförmigen Risses unter beliebiger Oberflächentemperaturverteilung

Übersicht Eine axialsymmetrische Spannungsverteilung in der Umgebung eines münzförmigen Risses im unbegrenzten isotropen elastischen Raum wird für allgemeine Randbedingungen bezüglich der Last- und Temperaturverteilung untersucht. Die Randwerte sind axialsymmetrisch verteilt, aber nicht-symmetrisch gegenüber der Rißebenez=0. Die Gleichgewichtsgleichungen werden unter Einbeziehung der Hankelschen Transformationen und des Abelschen Integralope-rators zweiter Art gelöst. Es werden die Feldvariablen der Spannungen, Verschiebungen, der Temperatur und der Wärmeströme als Funktionen ihrer Sprünge in der Rißebene hergeleitet. Die Stetigkeits- und Randbedingungen reduzieren die Aufgabe auf die Lösung der Abelschen Integralgleichungen erster und zweiter Art. In einigen Spezialfällen der Wärmebeanspruchung werden die Lösungen mit den in der Literatur veröffentlichten Angaben verglichen.

     

Axisymmetric displacement boundary value problem for a penny-shaped crack

Summary A solution is derived from equations of equilibrium in an infinite isotropic elastic solid containing a penny-shaped crack where displacements are given. Abel transforms of the second kind stress and displacement components at an arbitrary point of the solid are known in the literature in terms of jumps of stress and displacement components at a crack plane. Limiting values of these expressions at the crack plane together with the boundary conditions lead to Abel-type integral equations, which admit a closed form solution. Explicit expressions for stress and displacement components on the crack plane are obtained in terms of prescribed face displacements of crack surfaces. Some special cases of the crack surface shape functions have been given in the paper.     

Analysis of bonded anisotropic wedges with interface crack under anti-plane shear loading

The antiplane stress analysis of two anisotropic finite wedges with arbitrary radii and apex angles that are bonded together along a common edge is investigated. The wedge radial boundaries can be subjected to displacement-displacement boundary condi- tions, and the circular boundary of the wedge is free from any traction. The new finite complex transforms are employed to solve the problem. These finite complex transforms have complex analogies to both kinds of standard finite Mellin transforms. The traction free condition on the crack faces is expressed as a singular integral equation by using the exact analytical method. The explicit terms for the strength of singularity are extracted, showing the dependence of the order of the stress singularity on the wedge angle, material constants, and boundary conditions. A numerical method is used for solving the resul- tant singular integral equations. The displacement boundary condition may be a general term of the Taylor series expansion for the displacement prescribed on the radial edge of the wedge. Thus, the analysis of every kind of displacement boundary conditions can be obtained by the achieved results from the foregoing general displacement boundary condition. The obtained stress intensity factors （SIFs） at the crack tips are plotted and compared with those obtained by the finite element analysis （FEA）.     

An electrically impermeable and magnetically permeable interface crack with a contact zone in magnetoelectroelastic bimaterials under a thermal flux and magnetoelectromechanical loads

An interface crack with a frictionless contact zone at the right crack-tip between two dissimilar magnetoelectroelastic materials under the action of a thermal flux and remote magnetoelectromechanical loads is considered. The open part of the crack is assumed to be electrically impermeable and magnetically permeable, and the crack faces are assumed to be heat insulted. The inhomogeneous combined Dirichlet–Riemann and Hilbert boundary value problems are, respectively, formulated and solved analytically. Stress, electrical displacement intensity factors as well as energy release rate are found in analytical forms, and analytical expressions for the contact zone length have been obtained for both the general case and the case of small contact zone length. Some numerical results are presented, which show clearly the effects of thermal and magnetoelectromechanical loads on the contact zone length, stress intensity factor and energy release rate. Results presented in this paper should have potential applications to the design of multilayered magnetoelectroelastic structures and devices.     

On some crack problems in anisotropic thermoelasticity

Some basic equations recently derived by Clements are used to consider crack problems in anisotropic thermoelasticity. The problems concern a single crack in an anisotropic material in which the displacement and stress are independent of one Cartesian coordinate. No symmetry elements of the material are assumed and the temperature, displacement and stress fields are determined for an arbitrary distribution of temperature or heat flux over the crack faces.     

The distortion of a cylinder with non-uniform axial heat conduction

Closed form expressions are developed for the thermoelastic curvature of the initially plane end faces of a traction free cylinder subjected to arbitrary axisymmetric heat flux, the curved surfaces being assumed insulated. The solution is developed from a potential function representation of displacement and temperature for an elastic layer. The reciprocal theorem is invoked to show that the tractions at the curved surface of the cylinder vary linearly along the axis and they are removed by superposition of biaxial bending. It is found that the curvature of the plane ends depends on the local heat flux and the mean heat flux, whilst the cylindrical face distorts into a cone.     

Elastic thermal stresses in a hollow circular overlay/substrate system

This paper investigates the thermal elastic fields in the hollow circular overlay fully bonded to a rigid substrate, which is subjected to a temperature change. Following our previous work for a solid circular overlay/substrate system (Yuan and Yin, Mech. Res. Commun. 38, 283–287, 2011), this paper presents a closed form approximate solution to the axisymmetric boundary value problem using the plane assumption, whose accuracy is verified by the finite element models. When the inner radius is reduced to zero, the present solution recovers the previous solution. When the outer radius approaches infinite, the solution provides the elastic fields for a tiny hole in the overlay. The effects of thickness and width of the overlay are investigated and discussed. When a circular crack initiates in a solid circular overlay, the fracture energy release rate is investigated. This solution is useful for thermal stress analysis of hollow circular thin film/substrate systems and for fracture analysis of spiral cracking in the similar structures.     

Nonlinear bending and post-buckling of a functionally graded circular plate under mechanical and thermal loadings

Based on the classical nonlinear von Karman plate theory, axisymmetric large deflection bending of a functionally graded circular plate is investigated under mechanical, thermal and combined thermal–mechanical loadings, respectively, and axisymmetric thermal post-buckling behavior of a functionally graded circular plate is also investigated. The mechanical and thermal properties of functionally graded material (FGM) are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness of the plate, and obey a simple power law of the volume fraction of the constituents. Governing equations for the problem are derived, and then a shooting method is employed to numerically solve the equations. Effects of material constant n and boundary conditions on the temperature distribution, nonlinear bending, critical buckling temperature and thermal post-buckling behavior of the FGM plate are discussed in details.     

Heat conduction and thermal stress induced by an electric current in an infinite thin plate containing an elliptical hole with an edge crack

A uniform electric current at infinity was applied to a thin infinite conductor containing an elliptical hole with an edge crack. The electric current gives rise to two states, i.e., uniform and uneven Joule heat. These two states must be considered to analyze the heat conduction problem. The uneven Joule heat gives rise to uneven temperature and thus to heat flux, and to thermal stress.Using a rational mapping function, problems of the electric current, the Joule heat, the temperature, the heat flux, the thermal stress are analyzed, and each of their solutions is obtained as a closed form. The distributions of the electric current, the Joule heat, the temperature, the heat flux and the stress are shown in figures.The heat conduction problem is solved as a temperature boundary value problem. Solving the thermal stress problem, dislocation and rotation terms appear, which complicates this problem. The solutions of the Joule heat, the temperature, the heat flux and the thermal stress are nonlinear in the direction of the electric current. The crack problems are also analyzed, and the singular intensities at the crack tip of each problem are obtained. Mode II (sliding mode) stress intensity factor (SIF) is produced as well as Mode I (opening mode) SIF, for any direction of the electric current. The relations between the electric current density and the melting temperature and between the electric current density and SIF are investigated for some crack lengths in an aluminum plate.

Some transient coupled thermoelastic crack problems

This paper is concerned with determining the elastodynamic response of a plane strain medium containing a central crack deformed by the action of suddenly applied thermal and/or mechanical disturbances when the assumptions of the general theory of coupled thermoelasticity are assumed. Integral transform solution is employed to reduce the governing equations into integral equations of Fredholm type. A numerical inversion technique is used to compute the dynamic stress-intensity factors when the faces of the crack are subjected to constant heat flux and/or mechanical loading. Attention is focused on the overshoot in the stress-intensity factor and its time interval for non-stationary temperature fields, and to what degree it is influenced by the mutual dependence of the temperature and displacement fields inherent in the coupled theory of thermoelasticity.

Interaction between annular crack and rigid disc inclusion in a transversely isotropic solid

An analytical approach has been presented to analyze the asymmetric and axisymmetric interactions between an annular crack and a rigid disc inclusion embedded in a transversely isotropic full-space. With the aid of a method of potential functions, Hankel and Abel transforms, the solution of the problems is reduced to a system of Fredholm integral equations, which are solved by using a numerical method. In each case, the stiffness of the disc inclusion and the stress intensity factor at the tips of the annular crack for different degrees of material anisotropy and different ratios of the inner and outer radius of the crack are illustrated graphically. Several limiting cases such as penny-shaped crack and external crack along with some exact solutions are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the method.

Thermopiezoelectric interaction of macro- and micro-cracks in piezoelectric medium

Considered is the interaction of macro-and micro-cracks in an anisotropic piezoelectric solid. The Green’s function and principle of superposition are used to formulate a system of singular integral equations for solving the unknown temperature discontinuity and elastic displacement-electric potential. The residual heat flux, stress and electric displacement on the microcrack are evaluated directly from the near-tip field of main crack. Numerical results for stress and electric displacement intensity factors in a three-crack system are obtained to illustrate the application of the method.     

The Neumann boundary problem for axisymmetric fractional heat conduction equation in a solid with?cylindrical hole and associated thermal stress

The theory of thermoelasticity based on the heat conduction equation with the Caputo time-fractional derivative of order α is used to study thermal stress in an infinite medium with a cylindrical hole. Two types of Neumann boundary conditions are considered: the constant value of the normal derivative of the temperature and constant heat flux at the surface of a cavity. The solution is obtained applying Laplace and Weber integral transforms. Numerical results are illustrated graphically.     

Thermo-Osmosis Effect in Saturated Porous Medium

In this paper, the thermo-poroelasticity theory is used to investigate the quasi-static response of temperatures, pore pressure, stress, displacement, and fluid flux around a cylindrical borehole subjected to impact thermal and mechanical loadings in an infinite saturated poroelastic medium. It has been reported in literatures that coupled flow known as thermo-osmosis by which flux is driven by temperature gradient, can significantly change the fluid flux in clay, argillaceous and many other porous materials whose permeability coefficients are very small. This study presents a mathematical model to investigate the coupled effect of thermo-osmosis in saturated porous medium. The energy balance equations presented here fulfill local thermal non-equilibrium condition (LTNE) which is different from the local thermal equilibrium transfer theory, accounting for that temperatures of solid and fluid phases are not the same and governed by different heat transfer equations. Analytical solutions of temperatures, pore pressure, stress, displacement, and fluid flux are obtained in Laplace transform space. Numerical results for a typical clay are used to investigate the effect of thermo-osmosis. The effects of LTNE on temperatures, pore pressure, and stress are also studied in this paper.
