This study is concerned with the surface crack problem in an elastic orthotropic half-plane subjected to sliding contact by a rigid stamp of an arbitrary profile. In this study the effect of sliding contact on the mixed-mode stress intensity factors and contact stresses is investigated. Within the scope of the research, surface crack problem for orthotropic materials is examined. The well-known equations of elasticity for an orthotropic semi-infinite medium are used to formulate the fracture and contact problems in coupled form. The coupled elasticity problem is solved by means of a direct approach. Integral transforms are utilized to satisfy the governing equations of the problem and boundary conditions exactly. The coupled problem is reduced to a system of three singular integral equations. By adopting a collocation approach, the equations are solved numerically to determine the stress intensity factors and contact stresses. The main results of the analyses are the effect of the material properties and friction coefficient on the mixed mode stress intensity factors at the crack tip, contact stresses and required contact force.

In this study, inclined surface cracks in an elastic orthotropic half-plane exposed to contact loading at the material surface are examined for both open and closed crack assumptions. At first, mixed mode stress intensity factors are computed for fully open crack assumption depending on the solution of singular integral equations, obtained by Full Fourier Transform techniques. Unless fully open crack assumption is valid, the suitable crack closure mode is determined. Both crack tip and full length closure m...

This article presents an analytical method developed to conduct fracture analysis of functionally graded coatings that are under the effect of contact stresses. The geometric model considered comprises a functionally graded coating, which possesses a surface crack and is perfectly bonded to a homogeneous half-plane. A two-step solution procedure is put forward in which the contact and crack problems are treated separately. First, the graded coating is assumed to be in sliding frictional contact with a rigid...
Surface cracking in an orthotropic medium subjected to frictional contact

This article presents an analytical method capable of resolving the coupled problem of surface cracking in an orthotropic elastic medium subjected to frictional contact by a rigid flat punch. Reciprocal influences between the surface crack and the flat punch are accounted for by establishing a fully coupled formulation. Governing partial differential equations involving the displacement components are derived in accordance with plane theory of orthotropic elasticity. General solutions corresponding to mode ...
A surface crack in a graded coating bonded to a homogeneous substrate under general loading conditions

The elastostatic problem of a surface crack in a graded coating bonded to a homogeneous substrate under general loading conditions is considered. The coating is graded along the thickness direction and modeled as a nonhomogeneous medium with an isotropic stress-strain law. The problem is solved under the assumption of plane strain or generalized plane stress conditions. The crack surfaces are subjected to arbitrary loadings which give rise to mixed fracture modes which can be uncoupled due to the fact that ...
Thermal stress problem for an FGM strip containing periodic cracks
Köse, Ayşe; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013)
In this study the plane linear elastic problem of a functionally graded layer which contains periodic cracks is considered. The main objective of this study is to determine the thermal stress intensity factors for edge cracks. In order to find an analytic solution, Young’s modulus and thermal conductivity are assumed to be varying exponentially across the thickness, whereas Poisson ratio and thermal diffusivity are taken as constant. First, one dimensional transient and steady state conduction problems are ...
