This paper is concerned with the fracture of an axisymmetric hollow cylindrical bar containing rigid inclusions. The cylinder is under the action of uniformly distributed axial tension applied at infinity. The bar contains a ring-shaped crack at the symmetry plane whose surfaces are free of tractions and two ring-shaped rigid inclusions with negligible thickness symmetrically located on both sides of the crack. It is assumed that the material of the cylinder is linearly elastic and isotropic. The mixed boundary conditions of the problem lead the analysis to a system of three singular integral equations for crack surface displacement derivative and normal and shearing stress jumps on rigid inclusions. These integral equations are solved numerically and the stress intensity factors are calculated. (C) 2002 Civil-Comp Ltd. and Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

A SHEAR FLEXIBLE FINITE-ELEMENT FOR NONUNIFORM, LAMINATED COMPOSITE BEAMS
Oral, Süha (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-01)
A shear flexible finite element is formulated for linearly tapered, symmetrically laminated composite beams. The element has three nodes and 18 degrees of freedom. The three-node configuration is obtained from a five-node parent element by constraining the shear angle variation to be linear. The bending in two planes, twisting and stretching are considered. The performance of the element is tested with isotropic and composite materials, constant and variable cross-sections, and straight and curved geome...
A layerwise approach to piezo-electric plates accounting for adhesive flexibility and delaminated regions
Erturk, CL; Tekinalp, Ozan (Elsevier BV, 2005-01-01)
Multilayer plates with piezoelectric layers are modeled considering the deformation of the adhesive layers. Special finite elements, that use linear Lagrange and conforming Hermite type interpolation functions, are developed. The results of the formulation are compared with the other results presented in the literature. Since flexible bonding formulation is also suitable for modeling delamination, case studies containing partially delaminated PZT patches are presented. It is shown for a cantilever plate tha...
ANTIPLANE SHEAR PROBLEM FOR LAMINATED COMPOSITES CONTAINING BROKEN STRIPS
GECIT, MR; KULUNK, FI (Elsevier BV, 1992-08-03)
This paper considers the fracture problem of a composite which consists of perfectly bonded parallel load-carrying laminates and buffer strips. It is assumed that both materials are isotropic and linearly elastic and also that the fatigue cracks may appear and spread in main laminates or in buffer strips or in both perpendicular to the interfaces. The external load is applied parallel to the crack surfaces and away from the crack region. The problem is solved for fully embedded cracks and for completely bro...
OPTIMIZATION AND SENSITIVITY OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BEAMS
ERBATUR, F; ALZAID, R; DAHMAN, NA (Elsevier BV, 1992-12-03)
This paper is concerned with the optimum design of prestressed concrete beams. Both minimum weight and minimum cost optimization formulations are given for simply supported beams having three different sections. Sensitivity of the optimum designs, with respect to various design parameters, are also discussed. The formulation is programmed for interactive use on micro-computers. An example is given and results are discussed.
The theorems of structural variation for rectangular finite elements for plate flexure
Saka, MP (Elsevier BV, 2005-11-01)
The theorems of structural variation predict the forces and displacements throughout a structure without the need of fresh analysis when the physical properties of one or more members are altered or even its topology is changed due to removal of one or more of its elements. It has been shown that a single linear elastic analysis of a parent structure under the applied loads and a set of unit-loading cases is sufficient to determine the elastic, non-linear elastic and even elasticplastic response of number o...
