The modified mapping-collocation (MMC) method was applied to the boundary value problem (BVP) of a circumferential crack in an isotropic elastic curved beam subjected to pure bending moment loading. The stress correlation technique is then used to determine opening and sliding mode stress intensity factor (SIF) values based on the computed stress field near the crack tip. The MMC method aims at solving two-dimensional BVP of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) circumventing the need for direct treatment of the biharmonic equation by combining the power of analytic tools of complex analysis (Muskhelishvili formulation, conformal mapping, and continuation arguments) with simplicity of applying the boundary collocation method as a numerical solution approach. A good qualitative agreement between the computed stress contours and the fringe shapes obtained from the photoelastic experiment on a plexiglass specimen is observed. A quantitative comparison with FEM results is also made using ANSYS. The effect of crack size, crack position and beam thickness variation on SIF values and mode-mixity is investigated.

Elastic analysis of a circumferential crack in an isotropic curved beam using modified mapping-collocation method Amireghbali, Aydın; Çöker, Demirkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2013) The modified mapping-collocation (MMC) method is applied to analyze a circumferential crack in an isotropic curved beam. Based on the method a MATLAB code was developed to obtain the stress field. Incorporating the stress correlation technique, the opening and sliding fracture mode stress intensity factors (SIF)s of the crack for the beam under pure bending moment load case are calculated. The MMC method aims to solve two-dimensional problems of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) by combining the powe...
TIKHONOV REGULARIZATION FOR THE MODIFIED MAPPING-COLLOCATION METHOD APPLIED TO CIRCUMFERENTIAL CRACK IN A CURVED BEAM Amireghbali, A.; Çöker, Demirkan (2014-07-25) The modified mapping-collocation (MMC) method is applied to the problem of an isotropic curved beam with a circumferential crack under pure bending moment. Using least squares method to solve the overdetermined system of boundary condition equations causes numerical difficulties. Alternatively zeroth-order Tikhonov regularization is applied to solve the system. The regularization technique appears brilliantly helpful in eliminating the convergence problems associated with ill-posedness of the problem. The b...
Cracked infinite cylinder with two rigid inclusions under axisymmetric tension Toygar, M. Evren; Gecit, M. Rusen (2006-08-01) This paper considers the problem of an axisymmetric infinite cylinder with a ring shaped crack at z = 0 and two ring-shaped rigid inclusions with negligible thickness at z = +/- L. The cylinder is under the action of uniformly distributed axial tension applied at infinity and its lateral surface is free of traction. It is assumed that the material of the cylinder is linearly elastic and isotropic. Crack surfaces are free and the constant displacements are continuous along the rigid inclusions while the stre...
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 ...
Thermal fracture analysis of orthotropic functionally graded materials using an equivalent domain integral approach Dağ, Serkan (2006-12-01) 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...
