In this paper the plane elasticity problem for two bonded half-planes containing a crack perpendicular to the interface is considered. The primary objective of the paper is to study the effect of very steep variations in the material properties near the diffusion plane on the singular behavior of the stresses and stress intensity factors. The two materials are, thus, assumed to have the shear moduli mu(0) and mu(0)exp(beta-x), x = 0 being the diffusion plane. Of particular interest is the examination of the nature of stress singularity near a crack tip terminating at the interface where the shear modulus has a discontinuous derivative. The results show that, unlike the crack problem in piecewise homogeneous materials for which the singularity is of the form r-alpha, 0 < alpha < 1, in this problem the stresses have a standard square root singularity regardless of the location of the crack tip. The nonhomogeneity constant beta has, however, considerable influence on the stress intensity factors.

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 free-end interface crack problem for bonded orthotropic layers
Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat (1995-01-01)
The plane elasticity problem of two bonded orthotropoic layers containing cracks perpendicular to and along the interface is considered. The cracks are extended to intersect the boundaries and each other in such a way that a crack configuration suitable to study the edge debonding problem associated with bonded dissimilar materials is obtained. The problem is reduced to the solution of a system of singular integral equations with Cauchy type singularities. Numerical results for stress intensity factors and ...
A variational multiscale constitutive model for nanocrystalline materials
Gürses, Ercan (Elsevier BV, 2011-03-01)
This paper presents a variational multi-scale constitutive model in the finite deformation regime capable of capturing the mechanical behavior of nanocrystalline (nc) fcc metals. The nc-material is modeled as a two-phase material consisting of a grain interior phase and a grain boundary effected zone (GBAZ). A rate-independent isotropic porous plasticity model is employed to describe the GBAZ, whereas a crystal-plasticity model which accounts for the transition from partial dislocation to full dislocation m...
A micro macro approach to rubber like materials Part II The micro sphere model of finite rubber viscoelasticity
Christian, Miehe; Göktepe, Serdar (Elsevier BV, 2005-10-01)
A micromechanically based non-affine network model for finite rubber elasticity incorporating topological constraints was discussed in Part 1 (2004. J. Mech. Phys. Solids 52, 2617-2660) of this work. In this follow-up contribution we extend the non-affine microsphere model towards the description of time-dependent viscoelastic effects. The viscoelastic network model is constructed by an additive split of the overall response into elastic equilibrium-stress and viscoelastic overstress contributions. The equi...
Periodic crack problem for a functionally graded half-plane an analytic solution
YILDIRIM, BORA; Kutlu, Ozge; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat (Elsevier BV, 2011-10-15)
The plane elasticity problem of a functionally graded semi-infinite plane, containing periodic imbedded or edge cracks perpendicular to the free surface is considered. Cracks are subjected to mode one mechanical or thermal loadings, which are represented by crack surface tractions. Young's modulus, conduction coefficient, coefficient of thermal expansion are taken as exponentially varying functions of the depth coordinate where as Poisson ratio and thermal diffusivity are assumed to be constant. Fourier int...
