This article introduces a weight function method for fracture analysis of a circumferentially cracked functionally graded hollow cylinder subjected to thermal loads. The non-Fourier hyperbolic heat conduction model is used to determine the transient temperature distribution in the functionally graded cylinder. Solutions for transient temperature and stress distributions in the uncracked cylinder are derived by converting the governing differential equations into Fredholm integral equations in the Laplace domain. A numerical Laplace inversion technique is used to calculate the wave-like temperature and stress solutions in the time domain. These solutions are utilized to determine stresses acting on the faces of the circumferential crack in the local perturbation problem. A weight function technique is developed to compute the corresponding mode I thermal stress intensity factors. Comparisons to the results generated by finite difference and finite element methods 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 thermal relaxation time upon the stress intensity factors.

A three dimensional finite element method is used to examine periodic surface cracking problem in a functionally graded coating subjected to transient thermal loads. The ceramic/metal FGM coating is assumed to contain periodic semi-elliptical cracks and to be perfectly bonded to a homogeneous substrate. The composite structure is subjected to transient residual/thermal stresses. Temperature and displacement fields are computed using a three dimensional finite element approach. Finite element models are crea...

A new computational method based on the equivalent domain integral (EDI) is developed for mode I fracture analysis of orthotropic functionally graded materials (FGMs) subjected to thermal stresses. By using the constitutive relations of plane orthotropic thermoelasticity, generalized definition of the J-integral is converted to an equivalent domain integral to calculate the thermal stress intensity factor. In the formulation of the EDI approach, all the required thermomechanical properties are assumed to ha...
