Cylindrical Inclusions

In this study, singular stress fields at the ends of fibers are discussed by the use of models of rectangular and cylindrical inclusions in a semi-infinite body under pull-out force．The body force method is used to formulate those problems as a system of singular integral equations where the unknown functions are densities of the body forces distributed in a semi-infinite body having the same elastic constants as those of the matrix and inclusions.Then generalized stress intensity factors at the corner of rectangular and cylindrical inclusions are systematically calculated with varying the elastic ratio, length, and spacing of the location from edge to inner of the body. The effects of elastic modulus ratio and aspect ratio of inclusion upon the stress intensity factors are discussed.

Penny Shaped Crack

The penetration through a two-phase boundary by a biplanar (kinked) crack of arbitrary shape is considered in this paper. The two-phase boundary is modeled as the interface between two perfectly-bonded elastic, isotropic, homogeneous half spaces with different elastic constants. The planar crack on either side of the interface may be arbitrarily orientated with respect to the interface boundary. The body-force method is used to derive a set of coupled two-dimensional singular integral equations which are solved numerically. The solution yields the three crack opening displacements as well as the three modes of stress intensity factors along the crack contour. Numerical results are given for a penny-shaped crack symmetrically oriented with respect to the interface. Mode I stress intensity factors are given for the biplanar crack that experiences a kink when passing through the interface.

Arbitrarily Oriented Crack

The plane interaction problem for a circular elastic inclusion embedded into an elastic matrix which contains an arbitrarily oriented crack is considered. Using the existing solutions for the edge dislocations [6] as Green’s functions, first the general problem of a through crack in the form of an arbitrary smooth arc located in the matrix in the vicinity of the inclusion is formulated. The integral equations for the line crack are then obtained as a system of singular integral equations with simple Cauchy kernels. The singular behavior of the stresses around the crack tips is examined and the expressions for the stress-intensity factors representing the strength of the stress singularities are obtained in terms of the asymtotic values of the density functions of the integral equations. The problem is solved for various typical crack orientations and the corresponding stress-intensity factors are given.

Branch Crack

A solution is presented for the problem of a crack branching off the interface between two dissimilar anisotropic materials. A Green’s function solution is developed using the complex potentials of Lekhnitskii (1981) allowing the branched crack problem to be expressed in terms of coupled singular integral equations. Numerical results for the stress intensity factors at the branch crack tip are presented for some special cases, including the no-interface case which is compared to the isotropic no-interface results of Lo (1978).

Element Approach

A new systematic experimental procedure has been developed to obtain the stress intensity factors governing the singular stress field that occurs near the intersection between the interface and free edges of bimaterial joints. A preliminary theoretical study of the singular stress field is carried out by the well-known Airy stress function method. The obtained stress laws are properly combined with the basic law of photoelasticity in order to define a procedure that permits the zone dominated by the singularity to be located and the stress intensity factors (SIFs) to be computed on the basis of full field data provided from automated photoelasticity. In particular, a systematic error analysis is used to determine the model zone where the experimental data have to be collected in order to obtain accurate SIF evaluation. As an example, the proposed method is applied to determine the SIFs of various aluminium/ PSM-1 specimens under different external loading conditions using Fourier transform photoelasticity. The experimental results have been compared to those obtained by an independent procedure, based on a boundary element approach, in order to validate the accuracy of the proposed procedure.

Singular Stress Field

In order to compute stress intensity factors accurately, the standard boundary element method is modified to take explicit account of the singularity in the stresses at a crack-tip. The known expansion terms of the crack tip displacement and stress fields are subtracted to remove the numerical difficulties associated with the representation of a singular stress field at the crack-tip. Hence the accuracy of calculation is much improved, without appreciably increasing the amount of computation involved. Furthermore, the stress intensity factor is directly obtained as a part of a solution and no extrapolations are required. The improved formulation is applied to a configuration, which is representative of a part of the wing in a civil transport aeroplane. This configuration consists of a pair of circular cut-outs (supply ports) near to which smaller holes exist; these small holes are particularly susceptible to cracking.

Dynamic stress intensity factors for an interfacial crack between two dissimilar elastic, fully anisotropic media are studied. The mathematical problem is reduced to three coupled singular integral equations. Using Jacobi polynomials, solutions to the singular integral equations are obtained numerically. The orders of stress singularity and stress intensity factors of an interfacial crack in a (θ(1)/θ(2)) composite solid agree well with the finite element solutions.

Stress-intensity factors and bond stresses for several types of loading are calculated.
