For remotely loaded cracks in isotropic elastic solids, the energy flux into the crack tip vanishes as the crack speed increases to the Rayleigh wave speed of the material, see [1]. However, theoretical and numerical studies dating back to the mid 1970’s, e.g. Andrews [2], Burridge et al. [3] and Broberg [4, 5], have indicated that faster crack speeds should be possible under shear loading conditions.

Dynamic crack growth along a polymer composite-Homalite interface Çöker, Demirkan; Needleman, A. (2003-03-01) Dynamic crack growth along the interface of a fiber-reinforced polymer composite-Homalite bimaterial subjected to impact shear loading is investigated experimentally and numerically. In the experiments, the polymer composite-Homalite specimens are impacted with a projectile causing shear dominated interfacial cracks to initiate and subsequently grow along the interface at speeds faster than the shear wave speed of Homalite. Crack growth is observed using dynamic photoelasticity in conjunction with high-spee...
Consolidation of elastic porous media saturated by two immiscible fluids Tuncay, Kağan (1996-11-01) A theory is presented to simulate the consolidation of elastic porous media saturated by two immiscible Newtonian fluids. The macroscopic equations, including mass and momentum balance equations and constitutive relations, are obtained by volume averaging the microscale equations. The theory is based on the small deformation assumption. In the microscale, the grains are assumed to be linearly elastic and the fluids are Newtonian. The bulk and shear moduli of the solid matrix are introduced to obtain the mac...
Transitional dynamics in thermal convection between rigid plates Yıldırım, Cihan; Yarimpabuc, Durmus; Tarman, Hakan I. (SAGE Publications, 2007-09-01) The Rayleigh-Benard thermal convection problem is an instability of a Boussinesq fluid layer on an infinite horizontal plane heated from below and cooled from above in the presence of gravity in the vertical, pointing downward. The dynamics of this phenomena is governed by Boussinesq equations. In this work, Boussinesq equations are integrated numerically using a spectral element technique. The resulting numerical database is then used to generate the Karhunen-Loeve (K-L) basis. The K-L basis is an empirica...
A Spectral Solenoidal-Galerkin Method for Rotating Thermal Convection between Rigid Plates Yıldırım, Cihan; Yarımpabuç, Durmuş; Tarman, Hakan I. (Hindawi Limited, 2013) The problem of thermal convection between rotating rigid plates under the influence of gravity is treated numerically. The approach uses solenoidal basis functions and their duals which are divergence free. The representation in terms of the solenoidal bases provides ease in the implementation by a reduction in the number of dependent variables and equations. A Galerkin procedure onto the dual solenoidal bases is utilized in order to reduce the governing system of partial differential equations to a system ...
Intersonic shear crack growth along weak planes Rosakis, Ares J.; Samudrala, Omprakash; Çöker, Demirkan (Informa UK Limited, 2000-01-01) Classical dynamic fracture theories predict the Rayleigh surface wave speed (cR) to be the limiting speed of propagation for mode-I cracks in constitutively homogeneous, isotropic, linear elastic materials subjected to remote loading. For mode-II cracks, propagating along prescribed straight line paths, the same theories, while excluding the possibility of crack growth in the speed regime between cR and the shear wave speed, cs, do not exclude intersonic (cs<υ<cl) crack tip speeds. In the present study, we ...
