热对流作用下筒壁涂层的边裂行为

边裂(边缘开裂)是涂层热致损伤的主要模式之一. 边缘裂纹穿透涂层后,常导致界面脱粘从而驱使涂层与基体剥离,最终丧失对基体的保护作用. 本文以热应力强度因子表征边缘裂纹的扩展驱动力,研究筒壁涂层在热对流作用下的边裂行为. 首先,利用拉普拉斯变换法,得到了瞬态温度场及热应力场的封闭解. 其次,运用Fett等的三参数法确定了筒壁涂层边缘裂纹的权函数. 最后,基于叠加原理和权函数方法计算了边缘裂纹的热应力强度因子. 探讨了无量纲时间、边缘裂纹深度、基体/涂层厚度比、热对流强度等参数对热应力强度因子的影响规律. 结果表明:热应力强度因子的峰值既非发生在热载荷初始时刻,也非发生在热稳态时刻,而出现在时间历程的中间时刻;增大热对流强度不仅可提高热应力强度因子的峰值,而且使峰值提前出现;其他条件相同时,热应力强度因子随着边缘裂纹长度的增大而降低;增大涂层厚度或减小基体厚度可增强涂层抵抗瞬态热载荷的能力.      

Transient thermal elastic fracture of a piezoelectric cylinder specimen

A finite piezoelectric cylinder with an embedded penny-shaped crack is investigated for a thermal shock load on the outer surface of the cylinder. The theory of linear electro-elasticity is applied to solve the transient temperature field and the associated thermal stresses and electrical displacements without crack. These thermal stresses and electrical displacements are added to the surfaces of the crack to form an electromechanical coupling and mixed mode boundary-value problem. The electrically permeable crack face boundary condition assumption is used, and the thermal stress intensity factor and electrical displacement intensity factor at the crack border are evaluated. The thermal shock resistance of the piezoelectric cylinder is evaluated for the analysis of piezoelectric material failure in practical engineering applications.

Multiple cracking of elastic coatings under transient thermal load

A periodic array of cracks in an elastic coating bonded to a homogeneous substrate is considered. The medium is subjected to mechanical loads and/or thermal loads. The problem is formulated in terms of a singular integral equation with the crack face displacement as the unknown variable. In addition to the time-varying stress intensity factors and stresses for various parameters of the problem, the effect of periodic cracking on the relaxation of the transient stress on the coating surface is discussed. Solution techniques for a single elastic layer and an elastic coating bonded to an infinite substrate are given. It is found that, if the crack density attains a saturation value, the transient thermal stress in the medium could be released significantly, suggesting that further cracking is difficult.     

An axisymmetric problem of an embedded crack in a graded layer bonded to a homogeneous half-space

In an attempt to simulate non-uniform coating delamination, the elasto-static problem of a penny shaped axisymmetric crack embedded in a functionally graded coating bonded to a homogeneous substrate subjected to crack surface tractions is considered. The coating’s material gradient is parallel to the axisymmetric direction and is orthogonal to the crack plane. The graded coating is modeled as a non-homogeneous medium with an isotropic constitutive law. Using Hankel transform, the governing equations are converted into coupled singular integral equations, which are solved numerically to yield the crack tip stress intensity factors. The Finite Element Method was additionally used to model the crack problem. The main objective of this paper is to study the influence of the material non-homogeneity and the crack position on the stress intensity factors for the purpose of gaining better understanding on the behavior of graded coatings.     

Crack spacing effect for a piezoelectric cylinder under electro-mechanical loading or transient heating

This paper investigates the fracture problem of a piezoelectric cylinder with a periodic array of embedded circular cracks. An electro-mechanical fracture mechanics model is established first. The model is further used to the thermal fracture analysis of a piezoelectric cylinder subjected to a sudden heating on its outer surface. The temperature field and the associated thermal stresses and electric displacements are obtained and are added to the crack surface to form a mixed-mode boundary value problem for the electro-mechanical coupling fracture. The stress and stress intensities are investigated for the effect of crack spacing. Strength evaluation of piezoelectric materials under the transient thermal environment is made and thermal shock resistance of the medium is given.     

An embedded crack in a functionally graded orthotropic coating bonded to a homogeneous substrate under a frictional Hertzian contact

In this paper, we consider the elasto-static problem of an embedded crack in a graded orthotropic coating bonded to a homogeneous substrate subject to statically applied normal and tangential surface loading. The crack direction is parallel to the free surface. The coating is graded in the thickness direction and is orthogonal to the crack direction. This coating is modelled as a non-homogeneous medium with an orthotropic stress–strain law. The equivalent crack surface stresses are first obtained and substituted in the plane elasticity equations. Using integral transforms, the governing equations are converted into singular integral equations which are solved numerically to yield the displacement field as well as the crack-tip stress intensity factors. This study presents a complete theoretical formulation for the problem in the static case. A numerical predictive capability for solving the singular integral equations and computing the crack-tip stress intensity factors is proposed. Since the loading is compressive, a previously developed crack-closure algorithm is applied to avoid interpenetration of the crack faces. The main objective of the paper is to investigate the effects of the material orthotropy and non-homogeneity of the graded coating on the crack-tip stress intensity factors, with and without using the crack-closure algorithm, for the purpose of gaining better understanding on the behavior and design of graded coatings.     

Stress intensity factor for an edge crack in two bonded dissimilar materials under convective cooling

The transient thermal stress crack problem for two bonded dissimilar materials subjected to a convective cooling on the surface containing an edge crack perpendicular to the interface is considered. The problem is solved using the principle of superposition and the uncoupled quasi-static thermoelasticity. The crack problem is formulated by applying the transient thermal stresses obtained from the uncracked medium with opposite sign on the crack surfaces to be the only external loads. Fourier integral transform is used to solve the perturbation problem resulting in a singular integral equation of Cauchy type in which the derivative of the crack surface displacement is the unknown function. The numerical results of the stress intensity factors are calculated for both the edge crack and the crack terminating at the interface using two different composite materials and illustrated as a function of time, crack length, coefficient of heat transfer, and the thickness ratio.

Penny-shaped crack in a long circular cylinder subjected to a uniform shearing stress

This paper contains an analysis of the stress distribution in a long circular cylinder of elastic material containing a penny-shaped crack when it is deformed by the application of a uniform shearing stress. The crack with its center on the axis of the cylinder lies on the plane perpendicular to that axis, and the cylindrical surface is stress-free. By making a suitable representation of the stress function for the problem, the problem is reduced to the solution of a pair of Fredholm integral equations of second kind. These are solved numerically, and the percentage increase in the stress intensity factor due to the effect of the finite radius of the cylinder is presented in graphical form for various proximity ratios.

Stress intensity factors around a cylindrical crack in an interfacial zone in composite materials

Axisymmetric stresses around a cylindrical crack in an interfacial cylindrical layer between an infinite elastic medium with a cylindrical cavity and a circular elastic cylinder made of another material have been determined. The material constants of the layer vary continuously from those of the infinite medium to those of the cylinder. Tension surrounding the cylinder and perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder is applied to the composite materials. To solve this problem, the interfacial layer is divided into several layers with different material properties. The boundary conditions are reduced to dual integral equations. The differences in the crack faces are expanded in a series so as to satisfy the conditions outside the crack. The unknown coefficients in the series are solved using the conditions inside the crack. Numerical calculations are performed for several thicknesses of the interfacial layer. Using these numerical results, the stress intensity factors are evaluated for infinitesimal thickness of the layer.     

Mixed-mode fracture analysis of orthotropic functionally graded materials under mechanical and thermal loads

Mixed-mode fracture problems of orthotropic functionally graded materials (FGMs) are examined under mechanical and thermal loading conditions. In the case of mechanical loading, an embedded crack in an orthotropic FGM layer is considered. The crack is assumed to be loaded by arbitrary normal and shear tractions that are applied to its surfaces. An analytical solution based on the singular integral equations and a numerical approach based on the enriched finite elements are developed to evaluate the mixed-mode stress intensity factors and the energy release rate under the given mechanical loading conditions. The use of this dual approach methodology allowed the verifications of both methods leading to a highly accurate numerical predictive capability to assess the effects of material orthotropy and nonhomogeneity constants on the crack tip parameters. In the case of thermal loading, the response of periodic cracks in an orthotropic FGM layer subjected to transient thermal stresses is examined by means of the developed enriched finite element method. The results presented for the thermally loaded layer illustrate the influences of the material property gradation profiles and crack periodicity on the transient fracture mechanics parameters.

Compensation of stress intensity factors in hollow cylinders containing several cracks under torsion by electro-elastic coating

In this article, a formulation for a hollow cylinder reinforced with an electroelastic layer is investigated. The hollow cylinder and its electro-elastic coating are under the Saint-Venant torsional loading. First, the solution to the problem containing a Volterra-type screw dislocation is obtained by using the Fourier transform. The problem is then reduced to a set of Cauchy singular integral equations by the distributed dislocation method. Finally, several examples are presented to show the effect of the electro-elastic coating on the reduction of the stress intensity factors at the crack tips.     

Effects of material gradients on transient dynamic mode-III stress intensity factors in a FGM

This paper presents a transient dynamic crack analysis for a functionally graded material (FGM) by using a hypersingular time-domain boundary integral equation method. The spatial variations of the material parameters of the FGM are described by an exponential law. A numerical solution procedure is developed for solving the hypersingular time-domain traction BIE. To avoid the use of time-dependent Green’s functions which are not available for general FGM, a convolution quadrature formula is adopted for approximating the temporal convolution, while a Galerkin method is applied for the spatial discretization of the hypersingular time-domain traction BIE. Numerical results for the transient dynamic stress intensity factors for a finite crack in an infinite and linear elastic FGM subjected to an impact anti-plane crack-face loading are presented and discussed. The effects of the material gradients of the FGM on the transient dynamic stress intensity factors and their dynamic overshoot over the corresponding static stress intensity factors are analyzed.     

Thermal shock analyses for a strip containing an infinite row of periodically distributed cracks normal to its edge

The transient thermal stress problem of a semi-infinite plate containing an infinite row of periodically distributed cracks normal to its edge is investigated in this paper. The elastic medium is assumed to be cooled suddenly on the crack-containing edge. By the superposition principle, the formulation leads to a mixed boundary value problem, with the negating tractions arisen from the thermal stresses for a crack-free semi-infinite plate. The resulting singular integral equation is solved numerically. The effects on the stress intensity factors due to the presence of periodically distributed cracks in a semi-infinite plate are illustrated. For both the edge crack and the embedded crack arrays, the stress intensity factors increase, due to the reduction of the shielding effect, as the stacking cracks are more separated. For the case of embedded crack array, one has the further conclusion that the stress intensity factors decline as the crack array shifts from the plate edge.     

Small edge crack in a semi-infinite solid subjected to thermal stratification

The mode I stress intensity factor for a small edge crack in an elastic half-space is found when the space is in contact with two stratified fluids of different temperatures, the boundary between the fluids oscillating sinusoidally over the solid surface. The variation in the stress intensity factor, which may lead to thermal fatigue crack growth, is examined as a function of time, crack depth, amplitude and temporal frequency of oscillation, surface heat transfer coefficient and material properties of the half-space. It is shown how this ‘boundary layer’ solution may be applied to problems involving finite geometries.     

Stress intensity factors for a moving cylindrical crack in a nonhomogeneous cylindrical layer in composite materials

Stresses are determined for a finite cylindrical crack that is propagating with a constant velocity in a nonhomogeneous cylindrical elastic layer, sandwiched between an infinite elastic medium and a circular elastic cylinder made from another material. The Galilean transformation is employed to express the wave equations in terms of coordinates that are attached to the moving crack. An internal gas pressure is then applied to the crack surfaces. The solution is derived by dividing the nonhomogeneous interfacial layer into several homogeneous cylindrical layers with different material properties. The boundary conditions are reduced to two pairs of dual integral equations. These equations are solved by expanding the differences in the crack surface displacements into a series of functions that are equal to zero outside the crack. The Schmidt method is then used to solve for the unknown coefficients in the series. Numerical calculations for the stress intensity factors were performed for speeds and composite material combinations.
