Interface crack problems in graded orthotropic media are considered using analytical and computational techniques. In the analytical formulation an interface crack between a graded orthotropic coating and a homogeneous orthotropic substrate is considered. The principal axes of orthotropy are assumed to be parallel and perpendicular to the crack plane. Mechanical properties of the medium are assumed to be continuous with discontinuous derivatives at the interface. The problem is formulated in terms of the averaged constants of plane orthotropic elasticity and reduced to a pair of singular integral equations which are solved numerically to compute the mixed mode stress intensity factors and the energy release rate. In the second part of the study, enriched finite elements are formulated and implemented for graded orthotropic materials. Comparisons of the finite element and analytical results show that enriched finite element technique is capable of producing highly accurate results for crack problems in graded orthotropic media. Finally, periodic interface cracking and the four point bending test for graded orthotropic solids are modeled using enriched finite elements and the results are briefly discussed.

Simulation of dynamic crack growth using the generalized interpolation material point (GIMP) method Daphalapurkar, Nitin P.; Lu, Hongbing; Çöker, Demirkan; Komanduri, Ranga (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-01-01) Dynamic crack growth is simulated by implementing a cohesive zone model in the generalized interpolation material point (GIMP) method. Multiple velocity fields are used in GIMP to enable handling of discrete discontinuity on either side of the interface. Multilevel refinement is adopted in the region around the crack-tip to resolve higher strain gradients. Numerical simulations of crack growth in a homogeneous elastic solid under mode-II plane strain conditions are conducted with the crack propagating along...
The stress intensity factors for an infinitely long transversely isotropic, thick-walled cylinder which contains a ring-shaped crack Altinel, T; Fildis, H; Yahsi, OS (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1996-01-01) In this study the elastostatic axisymmetric problem for a long thick-walled transversely anisotropic cylinder containing a ring-shaped internal crack is analyzed. The problem is reduced to a singular integral equation which has a simple Cauchy kernel as the dominant part by using Hankel and Fourier transform techniques. These equations are then solved numerically and the stress intensity factors are calculated.
Three dimensional fracture analysis of FGM coatings under thermomechanical loading Yildirim, B; Dağ, Serkan; Erdogan, E (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-04-01) The main objective of this study is to examine the three dimensional surface crack problems in functionally graded coatings subjected to mode I mechanical or transient thermal loading. The surface cracks are assumed to have a semi-elliptical crack front profile of arbitrary aspect ratio. The cracks are embedded in the functionally graded material (FGM) coating which is perfectly bonded to a homogeneous substrate. A three dimensional finite element method is used to solve the thermal and structural problems....
Crack path and life prediction under mixed mode cyclic variable amplitude loading through XFEM Dirik, Haydar; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (Elsevier BV, 2018-09-01) In the present paper, a mesh independent computational algorithm is developed and incorporated into a commercial finite element software (Abaqus) for automated fatigue crack growth analysis under mixed mode variable amplitude loading conditions. The algorithm calculates the stress intensity factor (SIF) at predetermined small crack growth increments in the finite element software by using Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) and predict the fatigue crack growth (FCG) path through local symmetry (K-II = 0) ...
On efficient use of simulated annealing in complex structural optimization problems Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2002-01-01) The paper is concerned with the efficient use of simulated annealing (SA) in structural optimization problems of high complexity. A reformulation of the working mechanism of the Boltzmann parameter is introduced to accelerate and enhance the general productivity of SA in terms of convergence reliability. Two general and complementary parameters, referred as "weighted Boltzmann parameter" and "critical Boltzmann parameter," are proposed, Several alternative methodologies are suggested for these two parameter...
