Sacttering of SH-wave of combined deffectiveness which included single circular cavity and double linear cracks in elastic medium was investigated in detail. Analytic solution of this problem was obtained by Green’s Function method and idea of crack-division at actual position of crack at two times. There were two key steps of this method. First step was to employ a special Green’s Function which was a fundamental solution of displacement field for an elastic space with a cavity in it subjected to out-of-plane harmonic line source force at any point at first. The sceond step was crack-division which was artificially to produce a crack by apllying opposite shear stress caused by incident SH-wave. Distribution of dynamic stress concentration factor (DSCF) at edge of cavity was studied by numerical analysis. Distribution Curves of DSCF of three models were plotted by numerical method in polar coordinate system. Three models were one circular cavity and without crack, one circular cavity and single crack and single circular cavity double cracks. The results were compared and discussed in different incident angle of SH-wave.Conclusion was that the interaction among SH-wave, single cavity and double crack was obvious. Dynamic stress concentration factor varied with angle and distance between cavity and crack.

ABSTRACTGreen's function and complex function methods are used here to investigate the problem of the scattering of SH-wave by a cylindrical inclusion near interface in bi-material half-space. Firstly, Green's function was constructed which was an essential solution of displacement field for an elastic right-angle space possessing a cylindrical inclusion while bearing out-of-plane harmonic line source load at any point of its vertical boundary. Secondly, the bi-material media was divided into two parts along the vertical interface using the idea of interface “conjunction”, then undetermined anti-plane forces were loaded at the linking sections respectively to satisfy continuity conditions, and a series of Fredholm integral equations of first kind for determining the unknown forces could be set up through continuity conditions on surface. Finally, some examples for dynamic stress concentration factor of the cylindrical elastic inclusion are given. Numerical results show that dynamic stress concentration factor is influenced by interfaces, free boundary and combination of different media parameters.

This paper presents a closed-form series solution of cylindrical SH-wave scattering by the surrounding loose rock zone of underground tunnel lining in a uniform half-space based on the wave function expansion method and the mirror image method. The correctness of the series solution is verified through residual convergence and comparison with the published results. The influence of the frequency of the incident cylindrical SH-wave, the distance between the wave source and the lining, the lining buried depth, and the properties of the surrounding loose rock zone on the dynamic stress concentration of the tunnel lining is investigated. The results show that the incident wave with high frequency always makes the dynamic stress concentration of the tunnel lining obvious. With the increase of the distance between the wave source and the tunnel lining, the stress around the tunnel lining decreases, but the dynamic stress concentration factor around the tunnel lining does not decrease significantly but occasionally increases. The ground surface has a great influence on the stress concentration of the tunnel lining. The amplitude of the stress concentration factor of tunnel lining is highly related to the shear wave velocity of the surrounding loose rock zone. When the property of the surrounding rock (shear wave velocity) changes more, the amplitude of the stress concentration factor is larger, that is, the stress concentration is more significant.

The thread connection’s root fillet radius of 0.038″ size is the greatest weakness of the API NC type joints and thread. During the slimehole drilling, especially in the deep and ultra-deep gas well, its stress concentration factor and notch sensitivity factor are very high A novel thread connection design (TM) of a drilling tool is proposed to decrease the fatigue failure of the slimehole drilling tool in the deep and the ultra-deep gas well in the Tarim oilfield China. The novelty in the TM thread structure is, reducing the threads per inch, extending the distance from the last engaged thread to the external shoulder of the pin and adding three threads to the conventional connection. The novel thread connection will improve the slimehole drilling tool’s anti-fatigue life due to its improved elasticity and rigidity. Furthermore, the TM can transfer the maximum stress at the connection root to the loaded surface, which can effectively lower the fatigue notch’s sensitivity coefficient. In this paper, the finite element method (FEM) is applied to carry out the detailed comparative analysis of the TM with existing thread connection NC38, TX60 and TH90. The TM has the lowest stress concentration factor and fatigue notch sensitivity coefficient, so its anti-fatigue life is the highest. In addition, TM is manufactured and is tested at Tarim oilfield in China.

A numerical approach for the stress concentration of periodic collinear holes in an infinite plate in tension is presented. It involves the fictitious stress method and a generalization of Bueckner's principle. Numerical examples are concluded to show that the numerical approach is very efficient and accurate for analyzing the stress concentration of periodic collinear holes in an infinite plate in tension. The stress concentration of periodic collinear square holes in an infinite plate in tension is studied in detail by using the numerical approach. The calculated stress concentration factor is proven to be accurate.

Abstract Data are presented on the fracture of inoculated-iron thin-wall tubes, investigated under various ratios of axial to tangential stress, ranging from pure tension to pure compression. These data are consistent with published data on gray cast iron. It may be assumed that in cast-iron, plates of friable graphite in an iron matrix, act like solid iron with respect to compressive stresses, but they act as stress-concentrating cavities with respect to tensile stresses. This gives a stress-concentration factor, which is easily determined experimentally. Stress-concentration factors obtained were 3.2–3.3 for gray cast iron, and 2.4–2.5 for inoculated cast iron. A distortion-energy criterion for fracture, modified by this stress-concentration factor, is consistent with the experimental data. It appears that the concentration of the dispersed graphite, and the shape and size of this brittle phase, affect the fracture strength under combined stresses.

Abstract The mechanism of flow and fracture of a gray cast iron can be understood if one considers the microstructure to consist of a ductile structure with a random dispersion of cracks due to the graphite flakes following the concept of Fisher. A notch effective stress can be calculated for a critically situated crack by a knowledge of the external stresses, a plastic stress-concentration factor of 3, and a residual tensile stress at the sharp edge of the crack, based upon either the “maximum-shear” theory or the “distortion-energy” theory. This allows the formulation of generalized plastic stress-strain relationships and renders gray cast iron applicable to the many known solutions for plastic flow of ductile metals. Fracture in the region of tension-tension and tension-compression can be evaluated by a similar analysis, using the same stress-concentration factor and the same residual stress. A combined stress-testing program is described wherein thin-walled cast-iron tubes are subjected to two-dimensional states of combined stress covering the complete two-dimensional field.
