Crack Tip Fields

For homogeneous material plates and non-homogeneous material plates, the crack-tip field plays an important role in the research of fracture mechanics. However, the governing equations become the system of the sixth order partial differential ones with the variable coefficients when the material gradient is perpendicular to the thickness direction of plates. In this paper, they are derived first. Then, the crack-tip fields of the plates of radial functionally graded materials (FGMs) are studied and the higher order crack-tip fields are obtained based on the Reissner’s plate theory. The results show the effect of the non-homogeneity on the crack-tip fields explicitly and become the same as solutions of the homogeneous material plates as the non-homogeneous parameter approaches zero.

This paper presents the numerical prediction of stress intensity factors (SIFs) of 2-D inhomogeneous functionally graded materials (FGMs) by an enriched Petrov-Galerkin natural element method (PG-NEM). The overall trial displacement field was approximated in terms of Laplace interpolation functions, and the crack tip one was enhanced by the crack-tip singular displacement field. The overall stress and strain distributions, which were obtained by PG-NEM, were smoothened and improved by the stress recovery. The modified interaction integral M ˜ ( 1 , 2 ) was employed to evaluate the stress intensity factors of FGMs with spatially varying elastic moduli. The proposed method was validated through the representative numerical examples and the effectiveness was justified by comparing the numerical results with the reference solutions.
