This article introduces a weight function method for fracture analysis of a circumferentially cracked functionally graded hollow cylinder subjected to transient thermomechanical loading. Analytical solutions for transient temperature and stress distributions in the uncracked cylinder are derived by applying finite Hankel transformation. These solutions are utilized to determine stress acting on the faces of the circumferential crack in the local perturbation problem. Thermomechanical material properties are assumed to be power functions of the radial coordinate in the derivations. Coefficients of the weight function are found using reference stress intensity factors computed through the finite element method. Domain form of the J-integral is used in the finite element calculations. Comparisons of the numerical results calculated by the proposed weight function method to those generated by finite element analysis demonstrate the high level of accuracy attained by the application of the developed procedures. Further parametric analyses are presented to illustrate the influences of dimensionless time, crack depth to thickness ratio, power law index, and convection coefficient upon transient mode I thermomechanical stress intensity factors.

Circumferentially cracked bimaterial hollow cylinder under mechanical and transient thermal loading Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat (Informa UK Limited, 2006-12-01) The analytical solution for the problem of a circumferential inner surface crack in an elastic, infinitely long composite hollow cylinder, made of two concentric perfectly bonded transversely isotropic cylinders is considered. Uniform axial loading and thermal loading in the form of a sudden cooling on the inner boundary are considered. Out of 10 material parameters involved, two bimaterial parameters and three material parameters for each layer upon which the stress intensity factor depends under uniform l...
Micro- and mesoscale mechanical properties of an ultra-fine grained CrFeMnNi high entropy alloy produced by large strain machining Gigax, Jonathan G.; El-Atwani, Osman; McCulloch, Quinn; Aytuna, Berk; Efe, Mert; Fensin, Saryu; Maloy, Stuart A.; Li, Nan (Elsevier BV, 2020-03-01) Large strain machining (LSM), an attractive severe deformation technique due to its simplicity, has been previously used to produce a fine-grained structure in a variety of alloys. An equiatomic CrFeMnNi high entropy alloy was subject to various LSM conditions. The microstructure was observed to have ultra-fine grains in all conditions, with some more homogeneous than others. Nanoindentation showed a considerable increase in hardness for all LSM conditions with respect to the base material. Mesoscale tensil...
Stress distributions in cooling fins of variable thickness with and without rotation Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (Informa UK Limited, 2005-08-01) A computational model is developed to predict elastic and elastic-plastic stress distribution in a nonlinearly hardening cooling fin of variable thickness subject to centrifugal force. The model is based on a realistic conduction-convection mechanism, von Mises yield criterion, Henky's deformation theory and a Swift-type strain hardening law. Temperature dependency of modulus of elasticity, uniaxial yield limit, coefficient of thermal expansion, and thermal conductivity of the fin material is taken into acc...
Computation of Thermal Fracture Parameters for Inclined Cracks in Functionally Graded Materials Using Jk-Integral Dağ, Serkan (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) This article describes the formulation and implementation of the Jk-integral for the analysis of inclined cracks located in functionally graded materials (FGMs) that are subjected to thermal stresses. The generalized definition of the Jk-integral over a vanishingly small curve at the tip of an inclined crack is converted to a domain independent form that consists of area and line integrals defined over finite domains. A numerical procedure based on the finite element method is then developed, which allows t...
Mechanical behaviour of Al2O3-ZrO2 minicomposite reinforced glass matrix optomechanical composite Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi (Informa UK Limited, 2003-08-01) To understand the effect of a 'mesh-structured reinforcement' on the optical and mechanical properties of optomechanical composites, a unidirectional Al2O3 fibre-ZrO2 matrix minicomposite reinforced glass matrix optomechanical composite has been fabricated. By regular alignment of the minicomposites in the glass matrix as part of the 'mesh structure' a high degree of optical transparency is obtained in the composite; this transparency is proportional to its 'optical window' regions. The mesh structured rein...
