In this paper, the axisymmetric crack problem in a non-homogeneous interfacial region between two homogeneous half-spaces is considered. It is assumed that the shear modulus varies continuously between that of the two half-spaces; and the shear modulus for the interface region is approximated by mu = mu(o) e(mz). By using Hankel transform technique the problem is reduced to a pair of singular integral equations. The solutions of the problem are obtained for different material combinations and loading conditions; and modes I and II stress intensity factors, and the direction of a probable crack growth are calculated.

The mode III axisymmetric crack problem in a non-homogeneous interfacial region between homogeneous half-spaces
Fildis, H; Yahsi, OS (1997-01-01)
In this study, the mode III axisymmetric crack problem in a non-homogeneous interfacial region between two homogeneous half-spaces is considered. The shear modulus of the interfacial layer is assumed to be mu(2)(z) = mu(0)e(mz). It is also assumed that this shear modulus varies continuously between that of the two half-spaces. By using the Hankel transform technique the problem is reduced to a singular integral equation. The problem is solved for various material combinations, crack geometries and for three...
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.
A computational framework of configurational-force-driven brittle fracture based on incremental energy minimization
MIEHE, CHRISTIAN; Gürses, Ercan; BIRKLE, MANUEL (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-06-01)
A variational formulation of quasi-static brittle fracture in elastic solids at small strains is proposed and an associated finite element implementation is presented. On the theoretical side, a consistent thermodynamic framework for brittle crack propagation is outlined. It is shown that both the elastic equilibrium response as well as the local crack evolution follow in a natural format by exploitation of a global Clausius-Planck inequality. Here, the canonical direction of the crack propagation associate...
THE MODE-III CRACK PROBLEM IN BONDED MATERIALS WITH A NONHOMOGENEOUS INTERFACIAL ZONE
ERDOGAN, F; KAYA, AC; JOSEPH, PF (ASME International, 1991-06-01)
In this paper the mode III crack problem for two bonded homogeneous half planes is considered. The interfacial zone is modeled by a nonhomogeneous strip in such a way that the shear modulus is a continuous function throughout the composite medium and has discontinuous derivatives along the boundaries of the interfacial zone. The problem is formulated for cracks perpendicular to the nominal interface and is solved for various crack locations in and around the interfacial region. The asymptotic stress fiel...
The use of dual reciprocity boundary element method in coupled thermoviscoelasticity
Baranoglu, Besim; Mengi, Yalcin (Elsevier BV, 2006-01-01)
A boundary element formulation is presented in a unified form for the analysis of thermoviscoelasticity problems. The formulation contains the thermoelastic material as a special case. The boundary-only nature of boundary element method is retained through the use of particular integral method; where the particular solutions are evaluated with the aid of dual reciprocity approximation. The proposed formulation can be used in both coupled and uncoupled thermoviscoelasticity analyses, and it permits performin...
