In this study, a dynamic antiplane crack propagation with constant velocity in a configuration with boundary is investigated in detail. The reflected cylindrical waves which are generated from the free boundary will interact with the propagating crack and make the problem extremely difficult to analyze. A useful fundamental solution is proposed in this study and the solution is determined by superposition of the fundamental solution in the Laplace transform domain. The proposed fundamental problem is the problem of applying exponentially distributed traction (in the Laplace transform domain) on the propagating crack faces. The Cagniard’s method for Laplace inversion is used to obtain the transient solution in time domain. Numerical results of dynamic stress intensity factors for the propagation crack are evaluated in detail.

AbstractThe problem of a semi-infinite propagating crack in the piezoelectric material subjected to a dynamic anti-plane concentrated body force is investigated in the present study. It is assumed that between the growing crack surfaces there is a permeable vacuum free space, in which the electrostatic potential is nonzero. It is noted that this problem has characteristic lengths and a direct attempt towards solving this problem by transform and Wiener-Hopf techniques [1] is not applicable. This paper proposes a new fundamental solution for propagating crack in the piezoelectric material and the transient response of the propagating crack is determined by superposition of the fundamental solution in the Laplace transform domain. The fundamental solution represents the responses of applying exponentially distributed loadings in the Laplace transform domain on the propagating crack surface. Exact analytical transient solutions for the dynamic stress intensity factor and the dynamic electric displacement intensity factor are obtained by using the Cagniard-de Hoop method [2,3] of Laplace inversion and are expressed in explicit forms. Finally, numerical results based on analytical solutions are calculated and are discussed in detail.

In this study, the transient analysis of dynamic antiplane crack propagation with a constant velocity in a layered medium is investigated. The individual layers are isotropic and homogeneous. Infinite numbers of reflected cylindrical waves, which are generated from the interface of the layered medium, will interact with the propagating crack and make the problem extremely difficult to analyze. A useful fundamental solution is proposed in this study, and the solution can be determined by superposition of the fundamental solution in the Laplace transform domain. The proposed fundamental problem is the problem of applying exponentially distributed traction (in the Laplace transform domain) on the propagating crack faces. The Cagniard’s method for Laplace inversion is used to obtain the transient solution in time domain. The exact closed-form transient solutions of dynamic stress intensity factors are expressed in compact formulations. These solutions are valid for an infinite length of time and have accounted for contributions from all the incident and reflected waves interaction with the moving crack tip. Numerical results of dynamic stress intensity factors for the propagation crack in layered medium are evaluated and discussed in detail.

The Laplace Transform

An exact transient closed-form solution for a semi-infinite crack subjected to a timedependent concentrated force is obtained in this study. The total wave field is due to the effect of this point source and the scattering of the incident waves by the crack tip. An alternative methodology for constructing the reflected and diffracted field is proposed, which proves both powerful and efficient in solving complicated dynamic crack problems. An exponentially distributed loading at the crack surfaces in the Laplace transform domain is used as the fundamental problem. The waves reflected by the traction-free crack surface and diffracted from the crack tip can be constructed by superimposing this fundamental solution. The superposition is performed in the Laplace transform domain. Numerical results for the time history of stresses and stress intensity factors during the transient process are obtained and compared with the corresponding static values. It is shown that the field solution will approach the static value after the last diffracted wave has passed.

In this study, the transient stress fields and the dynamic stress intensity factor of a semi-infinite antiplane crack propagating along the interface between two different media are analyzed in detail. The crack is initially at rest and, at a certain instant, is subjected to an antiplane uniformly distributed loading on the stationary crack faces. After some delay time, the crack begins to move along the interface with a constant velocity, which is less than the smaller of the shear wave speed of these two materials. A new fundamental solution is proposed in this study, and the solution is determined by superposition of the fundamental solution in the Laplace transform domain. The proposed fundamental problem is the problem of applying exponentially distributed traction (in the Laplace transform domain) on the propagating crack faces. The exact full-field solutions and the stress intensity factor are found in the time domain by using the Cagniard-de Hoop method (de Hoop, 1958) of Laplace inversion. The near-tip fields are also obtained from the reduction of the full-field solutions. Numerical results for the dynamically extending crack are evaluated in detail. The region of the stress singular field dominated in the transient process is also discussed.

AbstractTensile tests on notched plates of single-crystalline silicon were carried out at high overloads. Cracks were forced to propagate on {110} planes in a <110> direction. The dynamics of the fracture process was measured using the potential drop technique and correlated with the fracture surface morphology. Crack propagation velocity did not exceed a terminal velocity of v = 3800 m/s, which corresponds to 83%7 of the Rayleigh wave velocity vR. Specimens fractured at low stresses exhibited crystallographic cleavage whereas a transition from mirror-like smooth regions to rougher hackle zones was observed in case of the specimens fractured at high stresses. Inspection of the mirror zone at high magnification revealed a deviation of the {110} plane onto {111} crystallographic facets.
