In this paper, the behavior of a finite crack in an infinite plate of functionally graded materials (FGM) with free boundary subjected to SH-waves is considered. To make the analysis tractable, it is assumed that the material properties vary exponentially with the thickness direction and the problem is transformed into a dual integrated equation with the method of integral transform. The dynamic stress intensity factor is obtained using Schmidt method. The numerical examples are presented to demonstrate this numerical technique for SH-waves propagating in FGM plate. Finally the number of the waves, the gradient parameter of FGM and the angle of the incidence upon the dynamic stress intensity factor are also given.

Dynamic problems of Yoffe mode crack are studied under antiplane shear impact in infinite orthotropic functionally graded materials. The shear modules in two directions are assumed to vary in terms with power function form of dual parameters of arbitrary time power. By using integral transform-dual integral equations method, the stress field and dynamic stress intensity factor near crack tip are obtained. And the influences of material in homogenous coefficient and graded parameters and crack moving speed to dynamic stress intensity factor are analyzed in virtue of Matlab software. Results show that the dimensionless dynamic stress intensity factor will decrease with the increase of moving speed of crack, which is opposite to the result of the dynamic problem of infinite strip in FGM. And the dimensionless dynamic stress intensity factor will decrease with the increase of graded parameters and rise with the increase of material in homogenous coefficient.

The dynamic stress field under the SH-waves at the moving crack tip of functionally graded materials is analyzed, and the influences of parameters such as graded parameter, crack velocity, the angle of the incidence and the number of the waves on dynamic stress intensity factor are also studied. Due to the same time factor of scattering wave and incident wave, the scattering model of the crack tip can be constructed by making use of the displacement function of harmonic load in the infinite plane. The dual integral equation of moving crack problem subjected to SH-waves is obtained through Fourier transform with the help of the exponent model of the shear modulus and density, then have some process on the even and odd term of the integral kernel. The displacement is expanded into series form using Jacobi Polynomial, and then the semi-analytic and numerical solutions of dynamic stress intensity factor are derived with Schmidt method.

The finite block method (FBM) is developed to determine stress intensity factors with orthotropic functionally graded materials under static and dynamic loads in this paper. The higher order derivative matrix for two and three dimensional problems can be constructed directly. For linear elastic fracture mechanics, the COD and J-integral techniques to determine the stress intensity factors are applied. Several examples are given and comparisons have been made with both analytical solutions and the finite element method in order to demonstrate the accuracy and convergence of the finite block method.

AbstractIn this paper, elastic analysis for a collinear crack problem in antiplane elasticity of functionally graded materials (FGMs) is present. An elementary solution is obtained, which represents the traction applied at a point “x” on the real axis caused by a point dislocation placed at a point “t” on the same real axis. The Fourier transform method is used to derive the elementary solution. After using the obtained elementary solution, the singular integral equation is formulated for the collinear crack problem. Furthermore, from the solution of the singular integral equation the stress intensity factor at the crack tip can be evaluated immediately. In the solution of stress intensity factor, influence caused by the materials property “α” is addressed. Finally, numerical solutions are presented.

In this article, the thermo-mechanical responses of ceramic/metal functionally graded thermal barrier coating(TBC) in work environment are analyzed by a finite element method. Both the crack-tip field and the stress intensity factor of functionally graded TBC are analyzed and calculated. It is discussed that the effect of crack length on mechanical properties of functionally graded TBC in the condition creep and no creep of pure metal. The numerical results indicate that the effect of crack length(a/t) is negligible to temperature distributions and the maximum displacements of whole model but remarkable to the 1st principal stress and stress intensity factor of crack region. Moreover, creep phenomenon of pure metal can relax the value of displacement, stress and stress intensity factor but do not alter their distribution.
