Dynamic crack propagation of mode-II cracks is simulated using bond-based Peridynamic Theory (PD) implemented in finite element analysis software ABAQUS. The specimen is a bonded homogeneous Homalite plate with a pre-notch that is subjected to impact shear loading simulating the experiments of Rosakis et al. (1999). The PD bonds at the bonding interface are utilized with a scalar critical stretch value that corresponds to mode-II fracture toughness of the interface. The crack initiation and propagation are naturally captured in the bond-based PD simulations by modifying the original prototype microelastic brittle law formulation introduced by Silling and Askari (2005). Impact loading is introduced at the specimen as a pulse speed field boundary condition. Using bond-based PD, sub-Rayleigh and intersonic regimes of crack growth are obtained as a function of fracture toughness (G(II)) and impact speed (V-i) values. The intersonic crack growth is discerned from the sub-Rayleigh crack growth by the existence of shear Mach waves in the particle velocity magnitude contours. For critical values of G(II) and V-i, a crack growing at a speed just below the Rayleigh wave speed is observed to transition to an intersonic speed with a Burridge-Andrews mechanism. The sustained intersonic crack tip speed is found to be between 1.57c(S) (c(S) is the shear wave speed) and c(D) (c(D) is the dilatational wave speed). For a reduced impact pulse duration, an intersonic crack is found to approach the theoretical value of 2c(S), which, however is not maintained. The results are in qualitative agreement with the experiments of Rosakis et al. (1999) and previous simulations in the literature.

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 ...
Non-linear viscoelasticity for epoxy-based polymers: theoretical modeling and numerical implementation Koral, Ateş; Dal, Hüsnü; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019) The present thesis aims at modeling creep behaviour under hydrostatic and uniaxial loadings of a certain silica filled epoxy compound at various temperatures with numerical implementation of algorithms into finite element method. Time dependent behaviour of polymers has been examined and many approaches have been proposed by researchers. Some of the models are inspired from micro-mechanical structure of polymers. These models generally take relaxation of a single entangled chain in a polymer gel matrix upon...
Intersonic delamination in curved thick composite laminates under quasi-static loading Gozluklu, Burak; Uyar, Imren; Çöker, Demirkan (2015-01-01) Dynamic delamination in curved composite laminates is investigated experimentally and numerically. The laminate is 12-ply graphite/epoxy woven fabric L-shaped laminate subject to quasi-static loading perpendicular to one arm. Delamination initiation and propagation are observed using high speed camera and load displacement data is recorded. The quasistatic shear loading initiates delamination at the curved region which propagates faster than the shear wave speed of the material, leading to intersonic delami...
Multiple Description Coding of 3D Dynamic Meshes Based on Temporal Subsampling Bici, M. Oguz; Akar, Gözde (2010-01-21) In this paper, we propose a Multiple Description Coding (MDC) method for reliable transmission of compressed time consistent 3D dynamic meshes. It trades off reconstruction quality for error resilience to provide the best expected reconstruction of 3D mesh sequence at the decoder side. The method is based on partitioning the mesh frames into two sets by temporal subsampling and encoding each set independently by a 3D dynamic mesh coder. The encoded independent bitstreams or so-called descriptions are transm...
Unsupervised Electromagnetic Target Classification by Self-organizing Map Type Clustering Katilmis, T. T.; Ekmekci, E.; Sayan, Gönül (2010-07-08) In this study, design of a completely unsupervised electromagnetic target classifier will be described based on the use of Self-Organizing Map (SOM) type artificial neural network training and Wigner distribution (WD) based target feature extraction technique. The suggested classification method will be demonstrated for a target library of four dielectric spheres which have exactly the same size but slightly different permittivity values.
