A convenient calculation method is proposed for the stress intensity factor (SIF) in cracked functionally graded material (FGM) structures. In this method, the complex computational problem for SIFs in cracked FGM plate and cylinder can be simplified as the calculation problem of empirical formulas of SIFs in cracked homogenous plate and cylinder with same loading conditions and the calculation problem of related transition parameters. The results show that the SIF in cracked FGM structure can be obtained accurately without using matrix and integral. The validity and usefulness of the present method are proved by comparing with the results of the conventional method.

A moving crack in an infinite strip of orthotropic anisotropy functionally graded material (FGM) with free boundary subjected to anti-plane shear loading is considered. The shear moduli in two directions of FGM are assumed to be of exponential form. The dynamic stress intensity factor is obtained by utilizing integral transforms and dual-integral equations. The numerical results show the relationships among the dynamic stress intensity factor and crack velocity, the height of the strip, gradient parameters and nonhomogeneous coefficients.
