Shaped Crack

The problem of a penny-shaped crack located between two spherical cavities in an infinite solid subjected to uniaxial loads is considered. Using transformations between harmonic functions in cylindrical coordinates and those in spherical ones, the problem is reduced to nonhomogeneous linear equations. The obtained equations are solved numerically and the influence of the two spherical cavities upon the stress-intensity factors at the penny-shaped crack tip is shown graphically.

This paper presents an efficient numerical weight function technique, based on the boundary element method, for the determination of stress intensity factors of curved crack fronts in three-dimensional finite bodies. The weight functions are based on the notion of fundamental fields, which are defined from point loads acting at the crack front. A regularization procedure that incorporates the fundamental fields of the penny-shaped crack in an infinite elastic body is used to obtain weight functions for a penny-shaped edge crack in a cylindrical bar. Stress intensity factors for elliptical crack fronts can be generated by employing the properties of the fundamental fields at the load points on the crack front. Stress intensity factor variations along the crack-fronts are presented when these finite cracked geometries are subjected to various loads that produce mode I deformation of the crack faces. Wherever possible, solutions are compared with values published in the literature and are found to be in good agreement.

Using the elasticity and the singular integral equation method, an analysis of a bending cylinder containing inclusions is carried out. The disturbing interface stresses on the inclusion sides and the stress intensity factors at the inclusion tips are obtained. The results given in this paper are useful for the strength design of the engineering structures or mechanical components containing inclusions.
