Coplanar Cracks

AbstractThe problem of an anisotropic elastic slab containing two arbitrarily-oriented coplanar cracks in its interior is considered. Using a Fourier integral transform technique, we reduce the problem to a system of simultaneous finite-part singular integral equations which can be solved numerically. Once the integral equations are solved, relevant quantities such as the crack energy can be readily computed. Numerical results for specific examples are obtained.

The influence of placing interleaves between fiber-reinforced plies in multilayered composite laminates is investigated. The geometry of the composite is idealized as a two-dimensional, isotropic, linearly elastic media consisting of a damaged layer bonded between two half-planes and separated by thin interleaves of low extensional and shear moduli. The damage in the layer is taken in the form of a symmetric crack perpendicular to the interface. The case of an H-shaped crack in the form of a broken layer with delamination along the interface is also analyzed. Fourier integral transform techniques are used to develop the solutions in terms of singular integral equations.

This paper presents the two-dimensional sliding frictional contact between a rigid perfectly conducting flat punch and a functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic material (FGMEEM) layered half-plane. The electric potential and magnetic potential of the punch are assumed to be constant within the contact region. The magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) material properties of the FGMEEM layer vary as an exponential function along the thickness direction, and the Coulomb type friction is adopted within the contact region. By using the Fourier integral transform technique, the problem is reduced to coupled Cauchy singular integral equations of the first and second kinds for the unknown surface contact pressure, electric charge, and magnetic induction. An iterative method is developed to solve the coupled equations numerically and obtain the surface MEE fields. Then, the interior MEE fields are also obtained according to the surface MEE fields. Numerical results indicate that the gradient index and friction coefficient affect both the surface and interior MEE fields significantly.

Partial Slip

In this paper, the nonlinear partial slip contact problem between a monoclinic half plane and a rigid punch of an arbitrary profile subjected to a normal load is considered. Applying Fourier integral transform and the appropriate boundary conditions, the mixed-boundary value problem is reduced to a set of two coupled singular integral equations, with the unknowns being the contact stresses under the punch in addition to the stick zone size. The Gauss–Chebyshev discretization method is used to convert the singular integral equations into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations, which are solved with a suitable iterative algorithm to yield the lengths of the stick zone in addition to the contact pressures. Following a validation section, an extensive parametric study is performed to illustrate the effects of material anisotropy on the contact stresses and length of the stick zone for typical monoclinic fibrous composite materials.

In this paper, we consider the problem of determining the basic characteristics of the stress state of a composite in the form of a piecewise homogeneous elastic layer reinforced along its extreme edges by stringers of finite lengths and containing a collinear system of an arbitrary number of cracks at the junction line of heterogeneous materials. It is assumed that stringers along their longitudinal edges are loaded with tangential forces, and along their vertical edges - with horizontal concentrated forces. In addition, the cracks are laden with distributed tangential forces of different intensities. The case is also considered when the lower edge of the composite layer is free from the stringer and rigidly clamped. It is believed that under the action of these loads, the composite layer in the direction of one of the coordinate axes is in conditions of anti-flat deformation (longitudinal shift). Using the Fourier integral transform, the solution of the problem is reduced to solving a system of singular integral equations (SIE) of three equations. The solution of this system is obtained by a well-known numerical-analytical method for solving the SIE using Gauss quadrature formulas by the use of the Chebyshev nodes. As a result, the solution of the original system of SIE is reduced to the solution of the system of systems of linear algebraic equations (SLAE). Various special cases are considered, when the defining SIE and the SLAE of the task are greatly simplified, which will make it possible to carry out a detailed numerical analysis and identify patterns of change in the characteristics of the tasks.

Improved Accuracy

The general problem of plane anisotropic elastostatics is formulated in terms of a system of singular integral equations with Cauchy kernels by means of the classical stress function approach. The integral equations are represented over the image of the boundary in the complex plane and a numerical scheme is developed for their solution. The boundary curve is discretized and suitable polynomial approximations of the unknown functions in terms of the complex variable are introduced. This reduces the equations to a set of complex linear algebraic equations which can be inverted to yield the stresses in a straightforward manner. The major difference between the present technique and the previous ones is in the numerical formulation. The integral equations are discretized in the complex plane and not in terms of real variables which depend on arc length, resulting in improved accuracy in presence of strong boundary curvature.

Coplanar Cracks

This article presents a study on the steady-state heat conduction in an infinite medium containing two coplanar cracks. Using an integral transform technique, formal temperature solutions have first been worked out for both the fundamental symmetric and antisymmetric cases. The explicit and exact expressions for temperatures are then developed via both the conventional inversion transform approach and an analytical continuation method proposed in this paper. Numerical results prepared from analytic and numerical methods are presented in graphic form for temperatures on the horizontal crack plane and on a plane slant to the cracks. The relative merit of various possible solution methods is also discussed.
