Elastic and elastic–plastic singular fields around a crack-tip in particulate-reinforced composites with progressive debonding damage

This paper deals with elastic and elastic–plastic singular fields around a crack-tip in particulate-reinforced composites with debonding damage of particle-matrix interface. Numerical analyses are carried out on a crack-tip field in elastic-matrix and elastic–plastic-matrix composites reinforced with elastic particles, using a finite element method developed based on an incremental damage theory of particulate-reinforced composites. A particle volume fraction and interfacial strength between particles and matrix of the composites are parametrically changed. In the elastic-matrix composites, a unique elastic singular field is created on the complete damage zone in the vicinity of a crack-tip in addition to the conventional elastic singular field on the no damage zone. The macroscopic stress level around a crack-tip is reduced by the debonding damage while the microscopic stress level of the matrix remains unchanged. In the elastic–plastic-matrix composites, the damage zone develops in addition to the plastic zone due to matrix plasticity, and both the macroscopic and microscopic stress revels around a crack-tip are reduced by the debonding damage. It is concluded from the numerical results that the toughening due to damage could be expected in the elastic–plastic-matrix composites, while it is questionable in the elastic-matrix composites.     

Dynamic crack-tip fields in rate-sensitive solids

The asymptotic stress and strain fields near the tip of a crack which propagates dynamically in a rate-sensitive solid are obtained under anti-plane shear and plane strain conditions. The problem is formulated within the context of a small-strain theory for a solid whose mechanical behavior under high strain rates is described by an elastic-viscoplastic constitutive relation. It is shown that, if the stresses are singular at the crack-tip, the viscoplastic relation is equivalent asymptotically to an elastic-non-linear viscous relation. Furthermore, for a certain range of the material parameter which characterizes the rate-sensitivity of the material, the elastic strain-rates near the propagating crack tip are shown to have the same asymptotic radial dependence near the propagating crack-tip as the inelastic strain-rates. This determines the order of the stress singularity uniquely. The governing equations for anti-plane shear and plane strain are then derived. The numerical results for the stress and strain fields are presented for anti-plane shear and plane strain. For the present model, the results suggest that under small-scale yielding conditions, there exists a minimum velocity for stable steady crack propagation. The implication that a terminal velocity for a running crack may exist is also discussed.     

A study of crack-tip nonlinearities in frozen-stress fields

A mechanical and optical characterization study in a uniaxial field was conducted on a commercial di-phase photoelastic material suitable for stress freezing. Results were used in a plane-strain theory for predicting nonlinear crack-tip behavior with the Prandtl-Reuss equations and a Mises criterion. These predictions were compared with frozen-stress photoelastic results obtained from experiments on a variety of technologically important three-dimensional cracked-body problems. Results indicate substantially greater stiffness or constraint in the nonlinear zone near the crack tip than predicted using uniaxial data. However, the value of the maximum shear stress at the onset of nonlinear behavior was accurately established and was the same for all cases examined.     

Plane-stress crack-tip stress fields for orthotropic perfectly-plastic materials

Under the hypothesis that the stress components of crack-tip fields are only thefunctions ofθ,the differential equations of plane-stress crack-tip stress fields fororthotropic perfectly-plastic materials are obtained by using Hill’s yield condition andequilibrium equations.By combining the general analytical expression with the numericalmethod the crack-tip stress fields for orthotropic perfectly-plastic materials for plane stressare presented.     

Anisotropic plastic fields at a rapidly propagating crack-tip

Under the condition that all the stress components at a crack-tip are the functionsofθonly,making use of the equations of steady-state motion,stress-strain relationsand Hill anisotropic yield conditions,we obtain the general solutions at a crack-tip inboth the cases of anti-plane and in-plane strains.Applying these general solutions tothe concrete cracks,the anisotropic plastic fields at the rapidly propagating tips ofmodeⅢand modeⅠcracks are derived.     

Finite-deformation analysis of the crack-tip fields under cyclic loading

The plane-strain crack subjected to mode I cyclic loading under small scale yielding was analysed. The influence of the load range, load ratio and overload on the near-tip deformation-, stress- and strain-fields was studied. Although the near-tip zones of appreciable cyclic plastic flow for all loading regimes matched closely one another, when scaled with (ΔK/σ_Y)², the activities of plastic flow within them manifested dependence on K_max and K_min, as well as on overload. Cyclic trajectories of the crack-tip opening displacement (CTOD) converged to stable self-similar loops of the sizes proportional to ΔK² and positions in CTOD-K plane dependent on the maximum K along the whole loading route, including an overload. Computed near-tip deformation evidenced plastic crack advance, this way visualising of the Laird–Smith concept of fatigue cracking. This crack growth by blunting-resharpening accelerated with rising ΔK and was halted by an overload. Crack closure upon unloading had no place. The affinities were revealed between computed near-tip stress–strain variables and the experimental trends of the fatigue crack growth rate, such as its dependence on K_max and K_min (or ΔK and K_max), and retardation by overload. Thus, the effects of loading parameters on fatigue cracking, hitherto associated with crack closure, are attributable to the stress–strain fields in front of it as the direct drives of the key fatigue constituents – damage accumulation and bond breaking.     

Anisotropic plastic stress fields at a rapidly propagating crack-tip

All the stress components at a rapidly propagating crack-tip in an elastic perfectly-plastic material are the functions of only. Making use of this condition and the equations of steady-state motion, stress-strain relations and Hill anisotropic yield condition, we obtain the general solutions in both the cases of anti-plane and in-plane strain. Applying these two general solutions to propagating Mode III and Mode I cracks, respectively, the anisotropic plastic stress fields at the rapidly propagating tips of Mode III and Mode I cracks are derived.     

Nonlinear mode II crack-tip fields for some Hookean materials

This paper presents a modified nonlinear Mode II crack model which is shown to satisfy the nonpenetrating crack surface boundary condition for homogeneous isotropic Hookean materials taking into account finite deformations. A recent investigation of the problem by Knowles [1] reveals apparent interpenetration of the crack surfaces which is considered nonphysical and therefore invalid. This observation is confirmed when a general solution based on Knowles's perturbation boundary layer method to characterize the finite deformation effects on Mode II crack-tip fields for the materials is derived. By deducing complete 2nd order solutions of the problem, the Poynting nonlinear effect becomes self-evident at the crack tip and for Hookean materials with there always exists the penetrating phenomenon between upper and lower crack surfaces.

Biaxial stress effects on the elastic-plastic crack-tip displacement fields

Summary A plane stress, finite element analysis of the monotonic loading of a Mode I stationary crack under small scale yielding using a boundary layer approach is presented. A small-strain,J ₂ plasticity theory is used in conjunction with a linear hardening material model. The effects due to the inclusion of the non-singular elastic T-stress in the asymptotic boundary conditions on the elastic-plastic fields near the tip are investigated. This parameter, which accounts for the inherent biaxial stress state at a crack tip, is found to control extension and state of deformation of the plastic zone. The full-field numerical solutions are also used to simulate moirè interferometric fringe patterns in order to assess earlier detailed experimental observations.

Sommario Viene presentato uno studio agli elementi finiti con un approccio allo strato limite del caricamento monotono seconda il Modo I di una fessura stazionaria in condizioni di stato di tensione piana e plasticità contenuta. Viene esaminata in particolare l'influenza che la componente tensionale elastica trasversale nonsingolare (i.e. T-stress) delle condizioni al contorno ha sullo stato di sollecitazione elasto-plastica all'apice della fessura. Si osserva che questo parametro dello stato di biassialità all'apice di fessure controlla sia l'estensione della zona plastica che lo stato deformativo al suo interno. Le soluzioni numeriche vengono inoltre impiegate per simulare sistemi di frange moirè interferometriche fornendo così un utile strumento di confronto con precedenti risultati sperimentali.

Mode I and mixed mode crack-tip fields in strain gradient plasticity

Strain gradients develop near the crack-tip of Mode I or mixed mode cracks. A finite strain version of the phenomenological strain gradient plasticity theory of Fleck-Hutchinson (2001) is used here to quantify the effect of the material length scales on the crack-tip stress field for a sharp stationary crack under Mode I and mixed mode loading. It is found that for material length scales much smaller than the scale of the deformation gradients, the predictions converge to conventional elastic-plastic solutions. For length scales sufficiently large, the predictions converge to elastic solutions. Thus, the range of length scales over which a strain gradient plasticity model is necessary is identified. The role of each of the three material length scales, incorporated in the multiple length scale theory, in altering the near-tip stress field is systematically studied in order to quantify their effect.     

On the asymptotic crack-tip stress fields in nonlocal orthotropic elasticity

The crack-tip stress fields in orthotropic bodies are derived within the framework of Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity via the Green’s function method. The modified Bessel function of second kind and order zero is considered as the nonlocal kernel. We demonstrate that if the localisation residuals are neglected, as originally proposed by Eringen, the asymptotic stress tensor and its normal derivative are continuous across the crack. We prove that the stresses attained at the crack tip are finite in nonlocal orthotropic continua for all the three fracture modes (I, II and III). The relative magnitudes of the stress components depend on the material orthotropy. Moreover, non-zero self-balanced tractions exist on the crack edges for both isotropic and orthotropic continua. The special case of a mode I Griffith crack in a nonlocal and orthotropic material is studied, with the inclusion of the T-stress term.     

Hydrostatic stress-dependent perfectly-plastic stress fields at a stationary plane-stress crack-tip

Under the condition that all the stress components at a crack-tip are the functions of θ only, making use of equilibrium equations and hydrostatic stress-dependent yield condition, in this paper, we derive the generally analytical expressions of the hydrostatic stress-dependent perfectly-plastic stress fields at a stationary plane-stress crack-tip. Applying these generally analytical expressions to the concrete cracks, the analytical expressions of hydrostatic stress-dependent perfectly-plastic stress fields at the tips of mode Ⅰ and mode Ⅱ cracks are obtained.     

Effect of yield surface vertex on crack-tip fields in mode III

An asymptotic crack-tip analysis of stress and strain fields is carried out for an antiplane shear crack (Mode III) based on a corner theory of plasticity. Because of the nonproportional loading history experienced by a material element near the crack tip in stable crack growth, classical flow theory may predict an overly stiff response of the elastic plastic solid, as is the case in plastic buckling problems. The corner theory used here accounts for this anomalous behavior. The results are compared with those of a similar analysis based on the J₂ flow theory of plasticity.     

Effects of pre-stress on crack-tip fields in elastic,incompressible solids

A closed-form asymptotic solution is provided for velocity fields and the nominal stress rates near the tip of a stationary crack in a homogeneously pre-stressed configuration of a nonlinear elastic, incompressible material. In particular, a biaxial pre-stress is assumed with stress axes parallel and orthogonal to the crack faces. Two boundary conditions are considered on the crack faces, namely a constant pressure or a constant dead loading, both preserving an homogeneous ground state. Starting from this configuration, small superimposed Mode I or Mode II deformations are solved, in the framework of Biot's incremental theory of elasticity. In this way a definition of an incremental stress intensity factor is introduced, slightly different for pressure or dead loading conditions on crack faces. Specific examples are finally developed for various hyperelastic materials, including the J₂-deformation theory of plasticity. The presence of pre-stress is shown to strongly influence the angular variation of the asymptotic crack-tip fields, even if the nominal stress rate displays a square root singularity as in the infinitesimal theory. Relationships between the solution with shear band formation at the crack tip and instability of the crack surfaces are given in evidence.     

Antiplane shear fields near a crack-tip in a brittle damaged material

In this paper, a simplified brittle damage model is proposed according to the Mazarz-Lemaitre damage model for concrete. A closed-form solution for a mode III crack is obtained based on the simplified model under small scale damage conditions, which allows for discontinuities of displacement-gradient and tangential stress on the damage boundary. It is pointed out that the discontinuities of field variables near the tip region exist for the brittle damaged material induced by the softening effect of the material.

Supplementary study on anisotropic plastic stress fields at a stationary plane-stress crack-tip

Asymptotic crack-tip fields for dynamic crack growth in compressive power-law hardening materials

The effect of material compressibility on the stress and strain fields for a mode-I crack propagating steadily in a power-law hardening material is investigated under plane strain conditions. The plastic deformation of materials is characterized by the J₂ flow theory within the framework of isotropic hardening and infinitesimal displacement gradient. The asymptotic solutions developed by the present authors [Zhu, X.K., Hwang K.C., 2002. Dynamic crack-tip field for tensile cracks propagating in power-law hardening materials. International Journal of Fracture 115, 323–342] for incompressible hardening materials are extended in this work to the compressible hardening materials. The results show that all stresses, strains, and particle velocities in the asymptotic fields are fully continuous and bounded without elastic unloading near the dynamic crack tip. The stress field contains two free parameters σ_eq0 and s₃₃₀ that cannot be determined in the asymptotic analysis, and can be determined from the full-field solutions. For the given values of σ_eq0 and s₃₃₀, all field quantities around the crack tip are determined through numerical integration, and then the effects of the hardening exponent n, the Poisson ratio ν, and the crack growth speed M on the asymptotic fields are studied. The approximate behaviors of the proposed solutions are discussed in the limit of ν → 0.5 or n → ∞.
