The crack tip fields for a cracked functionally graded materials spherical shell considering Reissners effect are obtained. Similar to Williams solution for homogeneous material, the eigen-solution of the crack tip field for bi-directional FGMs spherical shell is obtained by stress superposition principle. This result can be used to deal with the crack problems for FGMs shell.

The crack problem of power functionally graded spherical shell with Reissners effect is studied. Based on the Reissners theory, the governing equation of power functionally graded spherical shell is given. The eigen-solution of the crack tip field is obtained by using the asymptotic expansion method. The result is similar to Williams solution for homogeneous material.

The eigen-problem of a crack in functionally graded Reissner’s spherical shell is analyzed. By adopting the asymptotic expansion method, the higher order crack tip asymptotic fields which are similar to the Williams’ solutions of plane crack problems in homogenous materials are obtained. The grade direction is assumed to be parallel to the crack. The results can be widely adopted in numerical analysis, experimental investigation and the engineering application of FGM shell structure.

The crack tip field in functionally graded piezoelectric materials (FGPMs) under mechanical and electrical loadings is studied. Different from previous analyses, all material properties of the functionally graded piezoelectric materials are assumed to be linear function of y perpendicular to the crack. The crack surfaces are supposed to be insulated electrically. Similar to the Williams’ solution of homogeneous elastic materials, the higher order crack tip fields of FGPMs are obtained by the eigen-expansion method.

The higher order crack-tip fields for an anti-plane crack situated in the interface between functionally graded piezoelectric materials (FGPMs) and homogeneous piezoelectric materials (HPMs) are presented. The mechanical and electrical properties of the FGPMs are assumed to be linear functions of y perpendicular to the crack. The crack surfaces are supposed to be insulated electrically. By using the method of eigen-expansion, the higher order stress and electric displacement crack tip fields for FGPMs and HPMs are obtained. The analytic expressions of the stress intensity factors and the electric displacement intensity factors are derived.

The Reissner’s plate bending theory with consideration of transverse shear deformation effects is adopted to study the fundamental fracture problem in functionally graded materials (FGMs) plates for a crack perpendicular to material gradient. The crack-tip higher order asymptotic fields of FGMs plates are obtained by the asymptotic expansion method. This study has fundamental significance as Williams’ solution.

This paper provides full asymptotic crack-tip field solutions for an antiplane (mode-III) stationary crack in a functionally graded material. We use the complex variable approach and an asymptotic scaling factor to provide an efficient procedure for solving standard and perturbed Laplace equations associated with antiplane fracture in a graded material. We present the out-of-plane displacement and the shear stress solutions for a crack in exponentially and linearly graded materials by considering the gradation of the shear modulus either parallel or perpendicular to the crack. We discuss the characteristics of the asymptotic solutions for a graded material in comparison with the homogeneous solutions. We address the effects of the mode-III stress intensity factor and the antiplane T-stress onto crack-tip field solutions. Finally, engineering significance of the present work is discussed.

Reissners theory for cylindrical shell is adopted to analyze the axis-directional crack problem for FGMs cylindrical shell by using the asymptotic expansion method. The eigen-solution of the crack-tip fields for the cylindrical shell is obtained. The results are similar to Williams solution for the plane problems in homogeneous materials, and will be applied widely to engineering structures.

Analytical expressions for crack-tip higher order stress functions for a plane crack in a special functionally graded material (FGM), which has an variation of elastic modulus in 1 2 power form along the gradient direction, are obtained through an asymptotic analysis. The Poisson’s ratio of the FGM is assumed to be constant in the analysis. The higher order fields in the asymptotic expansion display the influence of non-homogeneity on the structure of crack-tip fields obviously. Furthermore, it can be seen from expressions of higher order stress fields that at least three terms must be considered in the case of FGMs in order to explicitly account for non-homogeneity effects on the crack- tip stress fields. These results provide the basis for fracture analysis and engineering applications of this FGM.
