Для прямолинейной трещины со связями в концевой области на границе соединения материалов получены выражения для расчета раскрытия трещины вне зоны, занятой связями, и напряжений за вершиной трещины. Рассматривается действие однородных - нормальной и сдвиговой - внешних нагрузок. Размер концевой области трещины не полагается малым по сравнению с длиной трещины. Выполнено сопоставление с результатами, полученными методом граничных элементов. For a straight interfacial crack with bridged zone the expressions for calculating the opening of the crack outside of the bridged zone and stresses ahead of the crack tip are obtained. The action of uniform normal and shear external loads is considered. The size of the crack bridged zone is not considered small compared with the length of the whole crack. A comparison with the results obtained by the boundary element method is presented.

Abstract Road traffic noise needs to be reduced, because traffic volume is increasing every year. The noise generated from a tire is becoming one of the dominant sources in the total traffic noise because the engine noise is constantly being reduced by the vehicle manufacturers. Although the acoustic intensity measurement technology has been enhanced by the recent developments in digital measurement techniques, repetitive measurements are necessary to find effective ways for noise control. Hence, a simulation method to predict generated noise is required to replace the time-consuming experiments. The boundary element method (BEM) is applied to predict the acoustic radiation caused by the vibration of a tire sidewall and a tire noise prediction system is developed. The BEM requires the geometry and the modal characteristics of a tire which are provided by an experiment or the finite element method (FEM). Since the finite element procedure is applied to the prediction of modal characteristics in a tire noise prediction system, the acoustic pressure can be predicted without any measurements. Furthermore, the acoustic contribution analysis obtained from the post-processing of the predicted results is very helpful to know where and how the design change affects the acoustic radiation. The predictability of this system is verified by measurements and the acoustic contribution analysis is applied to tire noise control.
