Corner Vertex

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the characteristics of elastic-plastic deformation and stress fields at the intersection of a crack front and the free surface of a three-dimensional body, referred to as corner fields. Design/methodology/approach The structures of elastic-plastic corner deformation field were assessed experimentally by looking at the corner border displacement and strain fields on the surface of a compact tension (CT) specimen using digital image correlation method. For assessment and verification purposes, the results were compared with the fields predicted through finite element analysis. The latter method was used further to assess the corner stress field. Findings The characteristics of displacement, strain and stress fields in the vicinity of a corner vertex in a finite geometry CT specimen in a strain hardening condition are independent of load and geometry. One of the distinctive features that becomes evident in this study is that the stress state at the corner vertex at θ=0° is a simple uniaxial tension. Originality/value This paper provides some insights on the structure of elastic-plastic corner fields that could optimistically be served as a fundamental framework towards the development of analytical solutions for elastic-plastic corner fields.

Stress fields in an isotropic elastic semi-infinite domain with a humped contour subjected to applied tractions are obtained for plane strain or plane stress conditions. Domains mapped conformally onto the half-plane by a class of rational functions are considered and a complex variable method is used to determine an analytic solution. A general Fortran program has been constructed to determine stresses, principal directions, principal strains, and maximum shear tractions at specified points.

Stress Functions

In this study, 3D thermal stresses in composite laminates under steady-state through thickness thermal conduction are investigated by means of a stress function-based approach. One-dimensional thermal conduction is solved for composite laminate and the layerwise temperature distribution is calculated first. The principle of complementary virtual work is employed to develop the governing equations. Their solutions are obtained by using the stress function-based approach, where the stress functions are taken from the Lekhnitskii stress functions in terms of in-plane stress functions and out-of-plane stress functions. With the Rayleigh–Ritz method, the stress fields can be solved by first solving a standard eigenvalue problem. The proposed method is not merely computationally efficient and accurate. The stress fields also strictly satisfy the prescribed boundary conditions validated by the results of finite element method (FEM) results. Finally, some of the results will be given for discussion considering different layup stacking sequences, thermal conductivities and overall temperature differences. From the results, we find that the thermal conductivity greatly affects the stress distributions and peak values of stresses increase linearly for the present model. The proposed method can be used for predicting 3D thermal stresses in composite laminates when subjected to thermal loading.
