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 modes are examined. Singular integral equations are solved with a suitable expansion-collocation technique depending on the closure mode. Finally, the closed portions of the cracks, contact pressure distributions between crack faces and modified mode II stress intensity factors are computed considering sliding crack face conditions. The main result of the analyses is the influence of the material parameters, the crack orientation angle and applied load on mixed mode stress intensity factors, closed portions of the cracks and the contact pressure distributions in the closed parts.

A Surface crack in an orthotropic medium subjected to sliding contact by a rigid stamp/ Sarıkaya, Duygu; Dağ, Serkan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014) 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 pro...
Surface cracking in an orthotropic medium subjected to frictional contact Sarikaya, Duygu; Dağ, Serkan (2016-07-01) 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 ...
Three dimensional fracture analysis of orthotropic materials Akgül, Görkem; Dağ, Serkan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012) The main objective of this study is to examine the three-dimensional surface crack problems in orthotropic materials subjected to mechanical or thermal loading. The cracks are modeled and embedded in the orthotropic material by considering semielliptical crack front geometry. In the model special elements are embedded in the crack front region, in this way it is possible to include crack tip singular fields along the crack front. Three-dimensional finite element analyses are conducted to obtain mode I stres...
Oblique surface cracking and crack closure in an orthotropic medium under contact loading Toktaş, Selim Ercihan; Dağ, Serkan (Elsevier BV, 2020-10-01) This article presents analytical methods for analysis of an inclined surface crack in an orthotropic medium subjected to contact loading. Governing partial differential equations are derived in accordance with plane theory of orthotropic elasticity. Contact and crack problems are formulated separately utilizing Fourier transformation techniques. The contact problem consists of a rigid flat punch pressing upon an orthotropic half-plane, and is reduced to a singular integral equation of the second kind. The s...
Elastic-plastic stress analysis of a thermoplastic composite disc under linear temperature distribution Sayman, O; Pekbey, Y; Sayman, S (SAGE Publications, 2006-01-01) In the present study, an elastic-plastic stress analysis is carried out on a composite thermoplastic disc reinforced by steel fibers, curvilinearly. Radial and tangential stresses are obtained under a liner temperature distribution. The magnitude of the tangential stress component for elastic and elastic-plastic cases is higher than that of the radial stress component. The tangential stress component is compressive and tensile on the inner and outer surfaces, respectively and is the highest on the inner sur...
