夹杂对两相材料界面裂纹的影响

根据界面上应力和位移的连续条件,得到了单向拉伸状态下,含有椭圆夹杂的无限大双材料组合板的复势解。进一步通过求解Hilbert问题,得到了含有夹杂和半无限界面裂纹的无限大板的应力场,并由此给出了裂尖的应力强度因子K。计算了夹杂的形状、夹杂的位置、夹杂的材料选取以及上、下半平面材料与夹杂材料的不同组合对裂尖应力强度的影响。计算结果表明夹杂到裂尖的距离和夹杂材料的性质对K影响较大,对于不同材料组合,该影响有较大差异。夹杂距裂尖较近时,会对K产生明显屏蔽作用,随着夹杂远离裂尖,对K的影响也逐渐减小。另外,软夹杂对K有屏蔽作用,硬夹杂对K有反屏蔽作用,而夹杂形状对K几乎没有影响。     

A unified treatment of the elastic elliptical inclusion under antiplane shear

Summary A generalized and unified treatment is presented for the antiplane problem of an elastic elliptical inclusion undergoing uniform eigenstrains and subjected to arbitrary loading in the surrounding matrix. The general solution to the problem is obtained through the use of conformal mapping technique and Laurent series expansion of the associated complex potentials. The resulting elastic fields are derived explicitly in both transformed and physical planes for the inclusion and the surrounding matrix. These relations are universal in the sense of being independent of any particular loading as well as the geometry of the matrix. The complete field solutions are provided for an elliptical inclusion under uniform loading at inifinity, and for a screw dislocation interacting with the elastic elliptical inclusion.     

Higher order fields for damaged nonlinear antiplane shear notch, crack and inclusion problems

Damaged nonlinear antiplane shear problems with a variety of singularities are studied analytically. A deformation plasticity theory coupled with damage is employed in analysis. The effect of microscopic damage is considered in terms of continuum damage mechanics approach. An exact solution for the general damaged nonlinear singular antiplane shear problem is derived in the stress plane by means of a hodograph transformation, then corresponding higher order asymptotic solutions are obtained by reversing the stress plane solution to the physical plane. As example, traction free sharp notch and crack, rigid sharp wedge and flat inclusion, and mixed boundary sharp notch problems are investigated, respectively. Consequently, higher order fields are obtained, in which analytical expressions of the dominant and second order singularity exponents and angular distribution functions of the near tip fields are derived. Effects of the damage and hardening exponents of materials and the geometric angle of notch/wedge on the near tip quantities are discussed in detail. It is found that damage leads to a weaker dominant singularity of stress, but to little stronger singularities of the dominant and second order terms of strain compared to that for undamaged material. It is also seen that damage has important effect on the angular distribution functions of the near tip stress and strain fields. As special cases, higher order analytical solutions of the crack and rigid flat inclusion tip fields are obtained, respectively, by reducing the notch/wedge tip solutions. Effects of damage and hardening exponents on the dominant and second order terms in the solutions of the crack and inclusion tip fields are discussed.     

Antiplane problem of circular ARC interfacial rigid line inclusions

The antiplane problem of circular arc rigid line inclusions under antiplane concentrated force and longitudinal shear loading was dealt with. By using RiemannSchwaz‘s symmetry principle integrated with the singularity analysis of complex functions, the general solution of the problem and the closed form solutions for some important practical problems were presented. The stress distribution in the immediate vicinity of circular arc rigid line end was examined in detail. The results show that the singular stress fields near the rigid inclusion tip possess a square-root singularity similar to that for the corresponding crack problem under antiplane shear loading, but no oscillatory character. Furthermore, the stresses are found to depend on geometrical dimension, loading conditions and materials parameters. Some practical results concluded are in agreement with the previous solutions.     

Scattering of SH-wave by cracks originating at an elliptic hole and dynamic stress intensity factor

The method of complex function and the method of Green‘s function are used to investigate the problem of SH-wave scattering by radial cracks of any limited length along the radius originating at the boundary of an elliptical hole, and the solution of dynamicstress intensity factor at the crack tip was given. A Green‘s function was constructed for the problem, which is a basic solution of displacement field for an elastic half space containing a half elliptical gap impacted by anti-plane harmonic linear source force at any point of its horizontal boundary. With division of a crack technique, a series of integral equations can be established on the conditions of continuity and the solution of dynamic stress intensity factor can be obtained. The influence of an elliptical hole on the dynamic stress intensity factor at the crack tip was discussed.     

Shielding effect and emission condition of a screw dislocation near a blunt crack in elliptical inhomogeneity

The shielding effect and emission condition of a screw dislocation near a blunt crack in elastic elliptical inhomogeneity is dealt with. Utilizing the Muskhelishvili complex variable method, the explicit series form solutions of the complex potentials in the matrix and the inclusion regions are derived. The stress intensity factor and critical stress intensity factor for dislocation emission are also calculated. The influences of the orientation of the dislocation and morphology of the blunt crack as well as the material elastic dissimilarity upon the shielding effect and emission criterion are discussed in detail. As a result, numerical analysis and discussion show that the positive screw dislocation can reduce the stress intensity factor of the crack tip (shielding effect) only when it is located in the certain region. The shielding effect increases with the increase of the shear modulus of the matrix and the curvature radius of the blunt crack tip, but decreases with the increase of dislocation azimuth angle. The critical loads at infinity for dislocation emission increases with the increment of the emission angle and the curvature radius of the blunt crack tip, and the most probable angle for screw dislocation emission is zero. The present solutions contain previous results as the special cases.     

Exact solution for elliptical inclusion in magnetoelectroelastic materials

This paper considers the magneto-electro-mechanical coupling between an inclusion and matrix, which are both of magnetoelectroelastic materials. The general cases including the mode I, mode II and mode III are studied. Analytical solutions for an elliptical cylinder inclusion inside an infinite magnetoelectroelastic medium under combined mechanical–electrical–magnetic loadings are formulated via the Stroh formalism. Crack problem is also investigated and the stress, electric and magnetic fields in the vicinity of the crack tip are determined by a complex vector of intensity factors. Various special cases, including an impermeable inclusion, a permeable crack, a rigid and permeable inclusion, a rigid and permeable line inclusion, a permeable cavity, and an impermeable cavity are discussed.     

Mode III stress intensity factors in an interfacial crack in dissimilar bonded materials

The antiplane shear deformation problem of two edge-bonded dissimilar isotropic wedges is considered. In the case when the sum of the two apex angles is equal to 2π, the problem reduces to that of two edge-bonded dissimilar materials with an interfacial crack subjected to concentrated antiplane shear tractions on the crack faces. An explicit expression is extracted for the stress intensity factor at the crack tip. In the special cases of different combinations of the apex angles, the obtained expression for the stress intensity factor may be simplified and relations of a simpler form are given for the stress intensity factor. It is shown that the stress intensity factor is dependent on the material properties as well as the geometry and loading. However, in special cases of equal apex angles as well as the case of similar materials the dependency of the stress intensity factor on the material properties disappears.

Effect of a flat inclusion on stress intensity factor of a semi-infinite crack

The elastic plane interaction between an arbitrarily located and oriented flat inclusion and a semi-infinite crack subjected to a remote Mode I loading is considered. The method uses distributions of edge dislocations to formulate integral expressions of flat inclusion (including crack) tractions and is shown to be very accurate by a test problem. The stress intensity factors of the main crack tip are presented for a variety of crack inclusion geometries. It is seen that the flat inclusion could either yield a stress enhancement or stress shielding effect to the main crack tip depending upon the location, orientation and thickness of the flat inclusion, and depending upon the modulus ratios of the flat inclusion to matrix.     

A generalized screw dislocation interacting with interfacial cracks along a circular inhomogeneity in magnetoelectroelastic solids

The interaction of a generalized screw dislocation with circular arc interfacial cracks under remote antiplane shear stresses, in-plane electric and magnetic loads in transversely isotropic magnetoelectroelastic solids is dealt with. By using the complex variable method, the general solutions to the problem are presented. The closed-form expressions of complex potentials in both the inhomogeneity and the matrix are derived for a single circular-arc interfacial crack. The intensity factors of stress, electric displacement and magnetic induction are provided explicitly. The image forces acting on the dislocation are also calculated by using the generalized Peach–Koehler formula. For the case of piezoelectric matrix and piezomagnetic inclusion, the shielding and anti-shielding effect of the dislocation upon the stress intensity factors is evaluated in detail. The results indicate that if the distance between the dislocation and the crack tip remains constant, the dislocation in the interface will have a largest shielding effect which retards the crack propagation. In addition, the influence of the interfacial crack geometry and materials magnetoelectroelastic mismatch upon the image force is discussed. Numerical computations show that the perturbation effect of the above parameters upon the image force is significant. The main result shows that a stable or unstable equilibrium point may be found when a screw dislocation approaches the surface of the crack from infinity which differs from the perfect bonded case under the same conditions. The present solutions contain a number of previously known results which can be shown to be special cases.     

EXACT SOLUTION FOR ORTHOTROPIC MATERIALS WEAKENED BY DOUBLY PERIODIC CRACKS OF UNEQUAL SIZE UNDER ANTIPLANE SHEAR

Orthotropic materials weakened by a doubly periodic array of cracks under far-field antiplane shear are investigated, where the fundamental cell contains four cracks of unequal size. By applying the mapping technique, the elliptical function theory and the theory of analytical function boundary value problems, a closed form solution of the whole-field stress is obtained. The exact formulae for the stress intensity factor at the crack tip and the effective antiplane shear modulus of the cracked orthotropic material are derived. A comparison with the finite element method shows the efficiency and accuracy of the present method. Several illustrative examples are provided, and an interesting phenomenon is observed, that is, the stress intensity factor and the dimensionless effective modulus are independent of the material property for a doubly periodic cracked isotropic material, but depend strongly on the material property for the doubly periodic cracked orthotropic material. Such a phenomenon for antiplane problems is similar to that for in-plane problems. The present solution can provide benchmark results for other numerical and approximate methods.     

On a Displacement Based Solution to an Antiplane Crack Problem for Inhomogeneous Anisotropic Elastic Materials

This paper employs a displacement based method to examine an antiplane crack problem for an inhomogeneous elastic material in which the elastic moduli vary continuously with the spatial coordinates. Expressions for the crack tip stress intensity factors and the crack displacement are obtained in terms of Chebyshev polynomials. Numerical results are obtained for some particular inhomogeneous elastic materials.     

Antiplane deformation of a partially bonded elliptical inclusion

A new method that introduces two holomorphic potential functions (the two-phase potentials) is applied to analyze the antiplane deformation of an elliptical inhomogeneity partially-bonded to an infinite matrix. Elastic fields are obtained when either the matrix is subject to a uniform longitudinal shear or the inhomogeneity undergoes a uniform shear transformation. The stress field possesses the square-root singularity of a Mode III interface crack, which, in the special case of a rigid line inhomogeneity, changes in order, as the crack tip approaches the inhomogeneity end. In the latter situation the crack-tip elastic fields are linear in two real stress intensity factors related to a strong and a weak singularity of the stress field.

On the stress problem of large elliptical cutouts and cracks in circular cylindrical shells

Numerical solutions are presented for stresses around an elliptical hole in a long, thin, circular cylindrical shell subjected to axial tension for both the symmetric orientations of the hole with respect to the shell. The method of analysis involves obtaining a series solution to the governing shell equations in terms of Mathieu functions by the method of separation of variables and satisfying the boundary conditions numerically term by term in a Fourier series formulation. Results are presented in the form of charts from which stress concentration factors can be directly read over a wide range of the two parameters, namely, axis ratio of the ellipse and a curvature parameter defining the hole size with respect to dimensions of the shell.An interesting feature of the investigation is the analysis of limiting cases of circumferential and axial cracks for axial tension and internal pressure loadings respectively. The method developed involves determining the solution completely in elliptic coordinates and then determining the singular stresses by carrying out a transformation to polar coordinates with crack tip as the origin through a Taylor series expansion. Membrane and bending stress intensity factors are computed and plotted over a sufficiently wide range of the curvature parameter extending from small to large sized cracks. As an outcome of the analysis, a “hybrid” technique has been developed by which singularity conditions at the crack tip can be handled effectively in dealing with boundary conditions in crack problems.

Antiplane study on confocally elliptical inhomogeneity problem using an alternating technique

This paper presents a novel efficient procedure to analyze the two-phase confocally elliptical inclusion embedded in an unbounded matrix under antiplane loadings. The antiplane loadings considered in this paper include a point force and a screw dislocation or a far-field antiplane shear. The analytical continuation method together with an alternating technique is used to derive the general forms of the elastic fields in terms of the corresponding problem subjected to the same loadings in a homogeneous body. This approach could lead to some interesting simplifications in solution procedures, and the derived analytical solution for singularity problems could be employed as a Green's function to investigate matrix cracking in the corresponding crack problems. Several specific solutions are provided in closed form, which are verified by comparison with existing ones. Numerical results are provided to show the effect of the material mismatch, the aspect ratio, and the loading condition on the elastic field due to the presence of inhomogeneities.
