In this study, a symmetrical finite strip with a length of 2L and a width of 2h, containing a transverse symmetrical crack of width 2a at the midplane is considered. Two rigid plates are bonded to the ends of the strip through which uniformly distributed axial tensile load of magnitude 2hp(0) is applied. The material of the strip is assumed to be linearly elastic and isotropic. Both edges of the strip are free of stresses. Solution for this finite strip problem is obtained by means of an infinite strip of width 2h which contains a crack of width 2a at y = 0 and two rigid inclusions of width 2c at y = L and which is subjected to uniformly distributed axial tensile load of magnitude 2hp(0) at y = +/-infinity. When the width of the rigid inclusions approach the width of the strip, i.e., when c -> h, the portion of the infinite strip between the inclusions becomes identical with the finite strip problem. Fourier transform technique is used to solve the governing equations which are reduced to a system of three singular integral equations. By using the Gauss-Jacobi and the Gauss-Lobatto integration formulas, these integral equations are converted to a system of linear algebraic equations which is solved numerically. Normal and shearing stress distributions and the stress intensity factors at the edges of the crack and at the corners of the finite strip are calculated. Results are presented in graphical and tabular forms.

Axisymmetric crack problem for a hollow cylinder imbedded in a dissimilar medium
Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat (Elsevier BV, 2005-05-01)
The analytical solution for the linear elastic problem of flat annular crack in a transversely isotropic hollow cylinder imbedded in a transversely isotropic medium is considered. The hollow cylinder is assumed to be perfectly bonded to the surrounding medium. This structure, which can represent a cylindrical coating-substrate system, is subjected to uniform crack surface pressure. Because of the geometry and the loading, the problem is axisymmetric. The z = 0 plane on which the crack lies, is also a plane ...
COMPRESSIBLE, HYPERELASTIC SPINNING TUBES SUBJECTED TO CIRCUMFERENTIAL SHEAR
ERTEPINAR, A (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-01)
The finite strain behavior of cylindrical tubes, made of a polynomial compressible material and subjected to the simultaneous action of constant spin and uniform external circumferential shear, is investigated using the theory of finite elasticity. The inner surface of the tube is assumed to be perfectly bonded to a rigid shaft. The governing quasi-linear system of two ordinary differential equations is solved using a shooting method. Numerical results are generated to analyze, qualitatively, the effects...
Semi-analytical solution of MHD flow through boundary integrals on the pipe wall
Tezer, Münevver; Bozkaya, Canan (Wiley, 2019-05-01)
A mathematical model is given for the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) pipe flow as an inner Dirichlet problem in a 2D circular cross section of the pipe, coupled with an outer Dirichlet or Neumann magnetic problem. Inner Dirichlet problem is given as the coupled convection-diffusion equations for the velocity and the induced current of the fluid coupling also to the outer problem, which is defined with the Laplace equation for the induced magnetic field of the exterior region with either Dirichlet or Neumann boun...
On annular disks of variable thickness subjected to external pressure
Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-02-01)
Exact solutions are obtained for the elastic stress distribution in variable thickness annular disks under external pressure. Two different thickness functions both in parabolic form are considered. It is shown that, depending on the geometric parameters describing the shape of the disk profile, the plastic deformation in the variable thickness annular disk commences at the inner or at the outer or simultaneously at both surfaces. The critical values of the geometric parameters which cause the plastic defor...
Finite strip with rigid ends and edge notches
Erözkan, Deniz; Geçit, M. Ruşen; Department of Engineering Sciences (2009)
This study considers a symmetrical finite strip with a length of 2L and a width of 2h containing two collinear edge cracks located at the center of the strip. Each edge crack has a width h–a. Two ends of the finite strip are bonded to two rigid plates through which uniformly distributed axial tensile loads of intensity p0 are applied. The finite strip is assumed to be made of a linearly elastic and isotropic material. For the solution of the finite strip problem, an infinite strip of width 2h containing two...
