This paper presents theoretical studies on the effect of plastic deformation on the strain energy release rate, G, of a plate under uniaxial tension with a central propagating crack. The linear elastic fracture mechanics solution for G is improved by using the Dugdale model for the crack and yielded region to obtain the axial rigidity of the plate. The axial rigidity is then used to obtain the solution for the strain energy release rate as the crack propagates. It is found that plastic deformation has a pronounced effect on G. A correction factor is presented for correcting the linear elastic solution for the strain energy release rate. The correction factor is found to depend upon the nominal (gross) stress to material yield stress ratio and the crack length to plate width ratio.

This paper presents theoretical studies on the axial rigidities in strips with circular and elliptical perforations and subjected to uniaxial tension. Greenspan’s original derivations on these axial rigidities [2] were improved by using the elasticity solutions by Howland [6] and Ishida [7] for infinite strips with circular and elliptical perforations, respectively. Finally, the correction factors for centrally notched strips subjected to uniaxial tension were rederived from the above results following the energy approach by Irwin and Kies [3].

Delamination Fracture

This paper presents investigation of delamination fracture behavior of multilayered non-linear elastic beam configurations by using the Ramberg-Osgood stress-strain relation. It is assumed that each layer exhibits continuous material inhomogeneity along the width as well as along thickness of the layer. An approach for determination of the strain energy release rate is developed for a delamination crack located arbitrary along the multilayered beam height. The approach can be applied for multilayered beams of arbitrary cross-section under combination of axial force and bending moments. The layers may have different thickness and material properties. The number of layers is arbitrary. The approach is applied for analyzing the delamination fracture behavior of a multilayered beam configuration subjected to four-point bending. The beam has a rectangular cross-section. The delamination crack is located symmetrically with respect to the beam midspan. The strain energy release rate is derived assuming that the modulus of elasticity varies continuously in the cross-section of each layer according to a hyperbolic law. In order to verify the solution to the strain energy release rate, the delamination fracture behavior of the multilayered non-linear elastic four-point bending beam configuration is studied also by applying the method of the J-integral. The solution to the strain energy release rate derived in the present paper is used in order to perform a parametric study of delamination.

Dugdale Model

In a recent paper in the Journal of Basic Engineering [1], Forman presented numerical results for the strain-energy release rate of a crack in a finite width plate using the Dugdale model [2] of a yielded crack to describe the effects of local plastic flow. However, there appear to be several errors in the formulation of the problem by Forman. In addition, it is believed that an analytical rather than numerical approach to this problem would be more useful for applications. In this Note, an analytical form for a correction factor due to yielding is obtained for the elastic strain-energy release rate from an exact expression for the strain-energy release rale of the Dugdale model of a yielded crack in an infinite sheet. The effect of finite sheet width is treated as a separate correction factor.

An analytical Mixed Mode I & II crack propagation model is used to analyze the experimental results of stiction failed micro cantilevers on a rigid substrate and to determine the critical strain energy release rate (adhesion energy). Using nonlinear beam deflection theory, the shape of the beam being peeled off of a rigid substrate can be accurately modeled. Results show that the model can fit the experimental data with an average root mean square error of less than 5 ran even at relatively large deflections which happens in some MEMS applications. The effects of surface roughness and/or debris are also explored and contrasted with perfectly (atomically) flat surfaces. Herein it is shown that unlike the macro-scale crack propagation tests, the surface roughness and debris trapped between the micro cantilever and the substrate can drastically effect the energy associated with creating unit new surface areas and also leads to some interesting phenomena. The polysilicon micro cantilever samples used, were fabricated by SUMMIT V™ technology in Sandia National Laboratories and were 1000 μm long, 30 μm wide and 2.6 μm thick.
