Crack Geometry

Numerical results are presented for a cracked elastic half-space surface-loaded by Hertzian contact stresses. A horizontal subsurface crack and a surface breaking vertical crack are contained within the half-space. An attempt to correlate crack geometry to fracture is made and possible mechanisms for crack propagation are introduced.

Contact Failure

The three-dimensional problem of contact between a spherical indenter and a multi-layered structure bonded to an elastic half-space is investigated. The layers and half-space are assumed to be composed of transversely isotropic materials. By the use of Hankel transforms, the mixed boundary value problem is reduced to an integral equation, which is solved numerically to determine the contact stresses and contact region. The interior displacement and stress fields in both the layer and half-space can be calculated from the inverse Hankel transform used with the solved contact stresses prescribed over the contact region. The stress components, which may be related to the contact failure of coatings, are discussed for various coating thicknesses.

Parametric Studies

This study uses the finite element method to analyze the sliding contact behavior between a rigid cylinder and a shape memory alloy (SMA) semi-infinite half-space. An experimentally validated constitutive model is used to capture the pseudoelastic effect exhibited by these alloys. Parametric studies involving the maximum recoverable transformation strain and the transformation temperatures are performed to analyze the effects that these parameters have on the stress fields during indentation and sliding contact. It is shown that, depending on the amount of recoverable transformation strain possessed by the alloy, a reduction of almost 40 % of the maximum stress in the pseudoelastic half-space is achieved when compared to the maximum stress in a purely elastic half-space. The studies also reveal that the sliding response is strongly temperature dependent, with significant residual stress present in the half-space at temperatures below the austenitic finish temperature.

Stress And Displacement Fields

Closed-form expressions are obtained for the normal surface displacements due to a normal point force moving at constant speed over the surface of an elastic half-space. The Smirnov-Sobolev technique is used to reduce the problem to a linear superposition of two-dimensional stress and displacement fields.

The paper presents solutions of two contact problems for the annular plate die on an elastic half-space under the action of axisymmetrically applied force and moment. Such problems usually arise in the calculation of rigid foundations with the sole of the annular shape in chimneys, cooling towers, water towers and other high-rise buildings on the wind load and the load from its own weight. Both problems are formulated in the form of triple integral equations, which are reduced to one integral equation by the method of substitution. In the case of the axisymmetric problem, the kernel of the integral equation depends on the product of three Bessel functions. Using the formula to represent two Bessel functions in the form of a double row on the works of hypergeometric functions Bessel function, the problem reduces to a functional equation that connects the movement of the stamp with the unknown coefficients of the distribution of contact stresses. The resulting functional equation is reduced to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations, which is solved by truncation. Under the action of a moment on the annular plate  die, the distribution of contact stresses is searched as a series by the products of the Legendre attached functions with a weight corresponding to the features in the contact stresses at the die edges. Using the spectral G. Ya. Popov ratio for the ring plate, the problem is again reduced to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations, which is also solved by the truncation method. Two examples of calculations for an annular plate die on an elastic half-space on the action of axisymmetrically applied force and moment are given. A comparison of the results of calculations on the proposed approach with the results for the round stamp and for the annular  stamp with the solutions of other authors is made.

Abstract Two-dimensional Fourier transforms are employed to treat the two-dimensional dynamic problem of elastic half space having a slightly wavy boundary. The various boundary curves considered include square and triangular bumps and holes, and sinusoidal and periodic boundaries. The number of different types of surface loadings considered are: (a) Normal tractions and zero shear, (b) impulsive normal tractions and zero shear, (c) suddenly applied normal tractions and zero shear, (d) concentrated normal load and zero shear, (e) concentrated impulsive load and zero shear, (f) pulsating normal load and zero shear, (g) moving loads, (h) pulsating moving loads, (i) vertical and horizontal loads, (j) moving vertical loads. Stress and displacement components for special cases of the loads described in (a, c, f, and g) acting on a sinusoidal boundary lead to a solution which requires evaluation of a single indefinite integral. Closed-form results are given for a uniform pulsating pressure load.

This paper is concerned with the study of transient response of a transversely isotropic elastic half-space under internal loadings and displacement discontinuities. Governing equations corresponding to two-dimensional and three-dimensional transient wave propagation problems are solved by using Laplace–Fourier integral transforms and Laplace−Hankel integral transforms, respectively. Explicit general solutions for displacements and stresses are presented. Thereafter boundary-value problems corresponding to internal transient loadings and transient displacement discontinuities are solved for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional problems. Explicit analytical solutions for displacements and stresses corresponding to internal loadings and displacement discontinuities are presented. Solutions corresponding to arbitrary loadings and displacement discontinuities can be obtained through the application of standard analytical procedures such as integration and Fourier expansion to the fundamental solutions presented in this article. It is shown that the transient response of a medium can be accurately computed by using a combination of numerical quadrature and a numerical Laplace inversion technique for the evaluation of integrals appearing in the analytical solutions. Comparisons with existing transient solutions for isotropic materials are presented to confirm the accuracy of the present solutions. Selected numerical results for displacements and stresses due to a buried circular patch load are presented to portray some features of the response of a transversely isotropic elastic half-space. The fundamental solutions presented in this paper can be used in the analysis of a variety of transient problems encountered in disciplines such as seismology, earthquake engineering, etc. In addition these fundamental solutions appear as the kernel functions in the boundary integral equation method and in the displacement discontinuity method.
