Evaluation of strongly singular domain integrals for internal stresses in functionally graded materials analyses using RIBEM

An accurate evaluation of strongly singular domain integral appearing in the stress representation formula is a crucial problem in the stress analysis of functionally graded materials using boundary element method.To solve this problem,a singularity separation technique is presented in the paper to split the singular integral into regular and singular parts by subtracting and adding a singular term.The singular domain integral is transformed into a boundary integral using the radial integration method.Analytical expressions of the radial integrals are obtained for two commonly used shear moduli varying with spatial coordinates.The regular domain integral,after expressing the displacements in terms of the radial basis functions,is also transformed to the boundary using the radial integration method.Finally,a boundary element method without internal cells is established for computing the stresses at internal nodes of the functionally graded materials with varying shear modulus.     

BOUNDARY INTEGRAL FORMULAS FOR ELASTIC PLANE PROBLEM OF EXTERIOR CIRCULAR DOMAIN

After the stress function and the normal derivative on the boundary for the plane problem of exterior circular domain are expanded into Laurent series, comparing them with the Laurent series of the complex stress function and making use of some formulas in Fourier series and the convolutions, the boundary integral formula of the stress function is derived further. Then the stress function can be obtained directly by the integration of the stress function and its normal derivative on the boundary. Some examples are given. It shows that the boundary integral formula of the stress function is convenient to be used for solving the elastic plane problem of exterior circular domain.     

Two non-elliptical inhomogeneities with internal uniform stresses interacting with a mode-III crack

We use the method of Green's functions to analyze an inverse problem in which we aim to identify the shapes of two non-elliptical elastic inhomogeneities, embedded in an infinite matrix subjected to uniform remote stress, which enclose uniform stress distributions despite their interaction with a finite mode-III crack. The problem is reduced to an equivalent Cauchy singular integral equation, which is solved numerically using the Gauss–Chebyshev integration formula. The shapes of the two inhomogeneities and the corresponding location of the crack can then be determined by identifying a conformal mapping composed in part of a real density function obtained from the solution of the aforementioned singular integral equation. Several examples are given to demonstrate the solution.

Scattering of harmonic waves by a disk-shaped rigid inclusion in a three-dimensional elastic matrix

We consider a three-dimensional problem on the interaction of harmonic waves with a thin rigid movable inclusion in an infinite elastic body. The problem is reduced to solving a system of two-dimensional boundary integral equations of Helmholtz potential type for the stress jump functions on the opposite surfaces of the inclusion. We propose a boundary element method for solving the integral equations on the basis of the regularization of their weakly singular kernels. Using the asymptotic relations between the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the wave farzone field and the obtained boundary stress jump functions, we determine the amplitudes of the shear plane wave scattering by a circular disk-shaped inclusion for various directions of the wave incident on the inclusion and for a broad range of wave numbers.     

Analysis of a crack in a half-plane piezoelectric solid with traction-induction free boundary

In this paper, the problem of a crack embedded in a half-plane piezoelectric solid with traction-induction free boundary is analyzed. A system of singular integral equations is formulated for the materials with general anisotropic piezoelectric properties and for the crack with arbitrary orientation. The kernel functions developed are in complex form for general anisotropic piezoelectric materials and are then specialized to the case of transversely isotropic piezoelectric materials which are in real form. The obtained coupled mechanical and electric real kernel functions may be reduced to those kernel functions for purely elastic problems when the electric effects disappear. The system of singular integral equations is solved numerically and the coupling effects of the mechanical and electric phenomena are presented by the generalized stress intensity factors for transversely isotropic piezoelectric materials.

Solution of the elastic boundary value problems for a layer with tunnel stress raisers

A novel procedure for solving three-dimensional problems for elastic layer weakened by through-thickness tunnel cracks has been developed and is presented in this paper. This procedure reduces the given boundary value problem to an infinite system of one-dimensional singular integral equations and is based on a system of homogeneous solutions for a layer. Integral representations of single- and double-layer potentials are used for metaharmonic and harmonic functions entering in the singular integral equations. These representations provide a continuous extendibility of the stress vector while allowing a jump in the displacement vector in the transition through the cut.Expanding the potential and biharmonic solutions in the Fourier series over the thickness coordinate yields the integral representations of the displacement vector and stress tensor. The problem of reducing a denumerable set of the integral equations of the given boundary value problem to one-to-one correspondence with the set of unknown densities appearing in the Fourier’s coefficient representations has been settled efficiently. Numerical investigations show a rapid convergence of the proposed reduction procedure as applied to the solution of the infinite system of one-dimensional integral equations. Numerical examples illustrate the proposed method and demonstrate its advantages.

Interaction of general plane P wave and cylindrical inclusion partially debonded from its viscoelastic matrix

The interaction of a general plane P wave and an elastic cylindrical inclusion of infinite length partially debonded from its surrounding viscoelastic matrix of infinite extension is investigated. The debonded region is modeled as an arc-shaped interface crack between inclusion and matrix with non-contacting faces. With wave functions expansion and singular integral equation technique, the interaction problem is reduced to a set of simultaneous singular integral equations of crack dislocation density function. By analysis of the fundamental solution of the singular integral equation, it is found that dynamic stress field at the crack tip is oscillatory singular, which is related to the frequency of incident wave. The singular integral equations are solved numerically, and the crack open displacement and dynamic stress intensity factor are evaluated for various incident angles and frequencies.

Green’s functions for plane problem under various boundary conditions and applications

Green’s functions of a point dislocation as well as a concentrated force for the plane problem of an infinite plane containing an arbitrarily shaped hole under stress, displacement, and mixed boundary conditions are stated. The Green’s functions are obtained in closed forms by using the complex stress function method along with the rational mapping function technique, which makes it possible to deal with relatively arbitrary configurations. The stress functions for these problems consist of two parts: a principal part containing singular and multi-valued terms, and a complementary part containing only holomorphic terms. These Green’s functions can be derived without carrying out any integration. The applications of the Green’s functions are demonstrated in studying the interaction of debonding and cracking from an inclusion with a line crack in an infinite plane subjected to remote uniform tension. The Green’s functions should have many other potential applications such as in boundary element method analysis. The boundary integral equations can be simplified by using the Green’s functions as the kernels.     

Effects of the moving speed of a rigid stamp on contact behaviors of anisotropic materials based on real fundamental solutions

The paper studies contact problem of a rigid stamp moving at a constant speed over the surface of anisotropic materials. The solution method is based on Galilean transformation, Fourier transform and singular integral equation. The stated mixed boundary value problem is reduced to a Cauchy type singular integral equation based on real fundamental solutions, which is solved exactly in the case of a rigid flat or cylindrical stamp. Explicit expressions for various stresses are obtained in terms of elementary functions. In particular, explicit formula is derived to determine the unknown contact region for the cylindrical stamp. For a flat stamp, detailed calculations are provided to show the influences of dimensionless moving speed on the normal and in-plane stress. For a cylindrical stamp, the effects of dimensionless moving speed, the mechanical loading and the radius on the contact region, the normal and in-plane stress are analyzed in detail.

Stress singularities for three-dimensional corners using the boundary integral equation method

The boundary integral equation method is developed to study three-dimensional asymptotic singular stress fields at vertices of a pyramidal notch or inclusion in an isotropic elastic space. Two-dimensional boundary integral equations are used for the infinite body with pyramidal notches and inclusions when either stresses or displacements are specified on its surface. Applying the Mellin integral transformation reduces the problem to one-dimensional singular integral equations over a closed, piece-wise smooth line. Using quadrature formulas for regular and singular integrals with Hilbert and logarithmic kernels, these integral equations are reduced to a homogeneous system of linear algebraic equations. Setting its determinant to zero provides a characteristic equation for the determination of the stress singularity power. Numerical results are obtained and compared against known eigenvalues from the literature for an infinite region with a conical notch or inclusion, for a Fichera vertex, and for a half-space with a wedge-shaped notch or inclusion.     

ANALYSIS OF SYMMETRIC LAMINATED RECTANGULAR PLATES IN PLANE STRESS

Symmetric laminated plates used usually are anisotropic plates. Based on the fundamental equation for anisotropic rectangular plates in plane stress problem, a general analytical solution is established accurately by method of stress function. Therefore the general formula of stress and displacement in plane is given. The integral constants in general formula can be determined by boundary conditions. This general solution is composed of solutions made by trigonometric function and hyperbolic function, which can satisfy the problem of arbitrary boundary conditions along four edges, and the algebraic polynomial solutions which can satisfy the problem of boundary conditions at four corners. Consequently this general solution can be used to solve the plane stress problem with arbitrary boundary conditions. For example, a symmetric laminated square plate acted with uniform normal load, tangential load and nonuniform normal load on four edges is calculated and analyzed.
