This paper considers the problem of bending of a plate composed of two plates of materials having dissimilar elastic properties, bonded together along a straight line which sustains a crack. Both materials are assumed to be isotropic and homogeneous. Upon obtaining stress solutions, it is found that the significant stresses are inversely proportional to the square root of the radial distance from the crack front and have an oscillatory character, which is shown to be confined to the immediate vicinity of the crack tip. A two-parameter set of equations expressing the general form of the stress distribution around the tip of such a crack is provided as it is of primary importance in predicting the strength of cracked plates. Some analogies are also observed between the characteristic equations occurring in the extension and bending of cracked plates composed of dissimilar materials.

Uniaxial And Biaxial Loading

In this paper, the J-Q two-parameter elastic-plastic fracture mechanics approach is used to analyse the surface cracked plates under uniaxial and biaxial loading. First, the J-Q characterization of crack front stress fields of surface cracked plates under uniaxial and biaxial tension loadings are discussed. The complete J-Q trajectories for points along the crack fronts as load increases from small-scale yielding to large-scale yielding were obtained. Based on the materials toughness locus, (resistance to fracture JC as a function of Q), the assessments of the onset of cleavage fracture are conducted. The critical location along the 3D crack front, and the corresponding maximum load carrying capacity are obtained. The results are consistent with experimental observations. It is demonstrated the J-Q two-parameter approach is capable of providing comprehensive assessments of cleavage fracture of surface cracked plates under uniaxial/biaxial loadings, capturing all the important aspects of the problem.

Theoretical Accuracy

The accuracy of the least squares method in the isotope dilution analysis is studied using two models, viz a model of a two-parameter straight line and a model of a one-parameter straight line.The equations for the direct and the inverse isotope dilution methods are transformed into linear coordinates, and the intercept and slope of the two-parameter straight line and the slope of the one-parameter straight line are evaluated and treated.

Abstract This paper provides a comparative analysis of selected parameters of the geometric constraints for cracked plates subjected to tension. The results of three-dimensional numerical calculations were used to assess the distribution of these parameters around the crack front and their changes along the crack front. The study also involved considering the influence of the external load on the averaged values of the parameters of the geometric constraints as well as the relationship between the material constants and the level of the geometric constraints contributing to the actual fracture toughness for certain geometries.

Abstract Two-parameter Weibull analysis was used to predict the fracture strength and fatigue life of an SCS-6/Ti-15-3 MMC ring from coupon sample data. The fracture strength and fatigue life of the ring were assumed to be volume dependent. The predicted fracture strengths were determined in terms of maximum allowable ring internal pressure. Two methods were used. One simple method was to calculate an effective volume for an idealized ring on the basis of a theoretical solution approximating the stress distribution. The fracture strength and fatigue life of the coupon samples were then scaled to the effective volume of the ring. The other method utilized finite-element analysis to determine a more realistic stress distribution in the actual, geometrically imperfect ring. The total reliability of the ring was then determined by the product of the elemental reliabilities with coupon samples used as a gage. These approaches were compared with experimental fracture strength results. No fatigue data for the ring were available for comparison. Preliminary results indicate that Weibull analysis of coupon samples shows promise in predicting the fracture strength of metal-matrix composite structures.

Abstract Quantitative measures of the nonlinearity of an analytical method are defined as follows: the "(dimensional) nonlinearity" of a method is the square root of the mean of the square of the deviation of the response curve from a straight line, where the straight line is chosen to minimize the nonlinearity. The "relative nonlinearity" is defined as the dimensional nonlinearity divided by the difference between the maximum and minimum assayed values. These definitions may be used to develop practical criteria for linearity that are still objective. Calculation of the nonlinearity requires a method of curve-fitting. In this article, we use polynomial regression to demonstrate calculations, but the definition of nonlinearity also accommodates alternative nonlinear regression procedures.

Summary Many tight/shale gas wells exhibit linear flow, which can last for several years. Linear flow can be analyzed using a square-root-of-time plot, a plot of rate-normalized pressure vs. the square root of time. Linear flow appears as a straight line on this plot, and the slope of this line can be used to calculate the product of fracture half-length and the square root of permeability. In this paper, linear flow from a fractured well in a tight/shale gas reservoir under a constant-flowing-pressure constraint is studied. It is shown that the slope of the square-root-of-time plot results in an overestimation of fracture half-length, if permeability is known. The degree of this overestimation is influenced by initial pressure, flowing pressure, and formation compressibility. An analytical method is presented to correct the slope of the square-root-of-time plot to improve the overestimation of fracture halflength. The method is validated using a number of numerically simulated cases. As expected, the square-root-of-time plots for these simulated cases appear as a straight line during linear flow for constant flowing pressure. It is found that the newly developed analytical method results in a more reliable estimate of fracture half-length, if permeability is known. Our approach, which is fully analytical, results in an improvement in linear-flow analysis over previously presented methods. Finally, the application of this method to multifractured horizontal wells is discussed and the method is applied to three field examples.
