Crack-tip field on mode Ⅱ interface crack of double dissimilar orthotropic composite materials

Two systems of non-homogeneous linear equations with 8 unknowns are obtained.This is done by introducing two stress functions containing 16 undetermined coefficients and two real stress singularity exponents with the help of boundary conditions.By solving the above systems of non-homogeneous linear equations,the two real stress singularity exponents can be determined when the double material parameters meet certain conditions.The expression of the stress function and all coefficients are obtained based on the uniqueness theorem of limit.By substituting these parameters into the corresponding mechanics equations,theoretical solutions to the stress intensity factor,the stress field and the displacement field near the crack tip of each material can be obtained when both discriminants of the characteristic equations are less than zero.Stress and displacement near the crack tip show mixed crack characteristics without stress oscillation and crack surface overlapping.As an example,when the two orthotropic materials are the same,the stress singularity exponent,the stress intensity factor,and expressions for the stress and the displacement fields of the orthotropic single materials can be derived.     

Propagation of slip pulse along frictionless contact interface with local separation between two piezoelectric solids

The Stroh formalism of piezoelectric materials,Fourier analysis and singular integral equation technique were used to investigate the existence of a pulse at the fric- tionless interface in presence of local separation between two contact piezoelectric solids. The two solids were combined together by uniaxial tractions and laid in the electric field. The problem was cast into a set of Cauchy singular integral equations,from which the closed-form solutions were derived.The numerical discussion on the existence of such a slip pulse was presented.The results show that such a slip pulse,which has square root singularities at both ends of the local separation zone,can propagate in most material combinations.And the existence of such a slip pulse will not be affected by the applied mechanical and electric fields in some special material combinations.

Integral transform solution of multi-material structure with finite crack perpendicular to the interface

The plane elasticity problem for layered elastic systems containing a finite crack perpendicular to the interface is considered. To derive the singular integral equations.

Fracture behavior of a bonded magneto-electro-elastic rectangular plate with an interface crack

In this paper the anti-plane problem for an interface crack between two dissimilar magneto-electro-elastic plates subjected to anti-plane mechanical and in-plane magneto-electrical loads is investigated. The interface crack is assumed to be either magneto-electrically impermeable or permeable, and the position of the interface crack is arbitrary. The finite Fourier transform method is employed to reduce the mixed boundary-value problem to triple trigonometric series equations. The dislocation density functions and proper replacement of the variables are introduced to reduce these series equations to a standard Cauchy singular integral equation of the first kind. The resulting integral equation together with the corresponding single-valued condition is approximated as a system of linear algebra equations which can be easily solved. Field intensity factors and energy release rates are determined numerically and discussed in detail. Numerical results show the effects of crack configuration and loading combination parameters on the fracture behaviors of crack tips according to energy release rate criterion. The study of this problem is expected to have applications to the investigation of dynamic fracture properties of magneto-electro-elastic materials with cracks.     

Investigation of the behavior of a griffith crack at the interface between two dissimilar orthotropic elastic half-planes for the opening crack mode

The behaviors of an interface crack between dissimilar orthotropic elastic halfplanes subjected to uniform tension was reworked by use of the Schmidt method. By use of the Fourier transform, the problem can be solved with the help of two pairs of dual integral equations, of which the unknown variables are the jumps of the displacements across the crack surfaces. Numerical examples are provided for the stress intensity factors of the cracks. Contrary to the previous solution of the interface crack, it is found that the stress singularity of the present interface crack solution is of the same nature as that for the ordinary crack in homogeneous materials. When the materials from the two half planes are the same, an exact solution can be otained.     

Fracture analysis of mode-II crack perpendicular to imperfect bimaterial interface

The problem of a mode-II crack close to and perpendicular to an imperfect interface of two bonded dissimilar materials is investigated.The imperfect interface is modelled by a linear spring with the vanishing thickness.The Fourier transform is used to solve the boundary-value problem and to derive a singular integral equation with the Cauchy kernel.The stress intensity factors near the left and right crack tips are evaluated by numerically solving the resulting equation.Several special cases of the mode-II crack problem with an imperfect interface are studied in detail.The effects of the interfacial imperfection on the stress intensity factors for a bimaterial system of aluminum and steel are shown graphically.The obtained observation reveals that the stress intensity factors are dependent on the interface parameters and vary between those with a fully debonded interface and those with a perfect interface.     

Crack growth of an interface crack between two dissimilar magneto-electro-elastic materials under anti-plane mechanical and in-plane electric magnetic impact

This paper examines the dynamic response of an interface crack between two dissimilar magneto-electro-elastic materials subjected to the mechanical and electric magnetic impacts. The magneto-electric impermeable boundary conditions are adopted. Laplace and Fourier transforms and dislocation density functions are employed to reduce the mixed boundary value problem to Cauchy singular integral equations in Laplace transform domain, which are solved numerically. Lots of numerical results are given graphically in time domain. The effects of electric impact loading and magnetic impact loading on dynamic energy density factors are discussed. Crack growth and propagation is predicted. The study of this problem is expected to have applications to the investigation of dynamic fracture properties of magneto-electro-elastic materials with cracks.     

Anti-plane crack moving along the interface of dissimilar piezoelectric materials

The problem of an anti-plane Griffith crack moving along the interface of dissimilar piezoelectric materials is solved by using the integral transform technique. It is shown from the result that the intensity factors of anti-plane stress and electric displacement around the crack tip are dependent on the speed of the Griffith crack as well as the material coefficients. When the two piezoelectric materials are identical, the present result will be reduced to the result for the problem of an anti-plane moving Griffith crack in homogeneous piezoelectric materials.

The scattering of general SH plane wave by interface crack between two dissimilar viscoelastic bodies

The scattering of general SH plane wave by an interface crack between two dissimilar viscoelastic bodies is studied and the dynamic stress intensity factor at the crack-tip is computed. The scattering problem can be decomposed into two problems: one is the reflection and refraction problem of general SH plane waves at perfect interface (with no crack); another is the scattering problem due to the existence of crack. For the first problem, the viscoelastic wave equation, displacement and stress continuity conditions across the interface are used to obtain the shear stress distribution at the interface. For the second problem, the integral transformation method is used to reduce the scattering problem into dual integral equations. Then, the dual integral equations are transformed into the Cauchy singular integral equation of first kind by introduction of the crack dislocation density function. Finally, the singular integral equation is solved by Kurtz's piecewise continuous function method. As a consequence, the crack opening displacement and dynamic stress intensity factor are obtained. At the end of the paper, a numerical example is given. The effects of incident angle, incident frequency and viscoelastic material parameters are analyzed. It is found that there is a frequency region for viscoelastic material within which the viscoelastic effects cannot be ignored.

Dynamic stress intensity factors of two collinear mode-III cracks perpendicular to and on the two sides of a bi-FGM weak-discontinuous interface

The mechanical model was established for the anti-plane dynamic fracture problem for two collinear cracks on the two sides of and perpendicular to a weak-discontinuous interface between two materials with smoothly graded elastic properties, as opposed to a sharp interface with discontinuously changing elastic properties. The problem was reduced as a system of Cauchy singular integral equations of the first kind by Laplace and Fourier integral transforms. The integral equations were solved by Erdogan's collocation method and the dynamic stress intensity factors in the time domain were obtained through Laplace numerical inversion proposed by Miller and Guy. The influences of geometrical and physical parameters on the dynamic stress intensity factors were illustrated and discussed, based on which some conclusions were drawn: (a) to increase the thickness of the FGM strip on either side of the interface will be beneficial to reducing the DSIF of a crack perpendicular to a bi-FGM interface and embedded at the center of one of the FGM strips; (b) To increase the rigidity of the FGM strip where the crack is located will increase the DSIF. However, when the material in one side of the interface is more rigid, the DSIF of the interface-perpendicular embedded crack in the other side will be reduced; (c) To decrease the weak-discontinuity of a bi-FGM interface will not necessarily reduce the stress intensity factor of a crack perpendicular to it, which is different from the case of interfacial crack; (d) For two collinear cracks with equal half-length, when the distance between the two inner tips is less than about three times of the half-length, the interaction of them is intensified, however, when the distance is greater than this the interaction becomes weak.     

Dynamic behavior of two collinear interface cracks between two dissimilar functionally graded piezoelectric/piezomagnetic material strips

The dynamic interaction of two collinear interface cracks between two dissimilar functionally graded piezoelectric/piezomagnetic material strips subjected to the anti-plane shear harmonic stress waves was investigated. By using the Fourier transform, the problem can be solved with the help of a pair of triple integral equations in which the unknown variable is jump of displacement across the crack surfaces. These equations are solved using the Schmidt method. Numerical examples are provided to show the effect of the functionally graded parameter, the circular frequency of the incident waves and the thickness of the strip upon stress, electric displacement and magnetic flux intensity factors of cracks.
