The problem of dynamic stress intensity factor is investigated theoretically in present paper for a radial crack on a circular cavity in an infinite piezoelectric medium, which is subjected to time-harmonic incident anti-plane shearing. First, a pair of electromechanically coupled Green’s functions are constructed which indicate the basic solutions for a semi-infinite piezoelectric medium with a semi-circular cavity. Second, based on the crack-division technique and conjunction technique, integral equations for the unknown stresses’ solution on the conjunction surface is established, which are related to the dynamic stress intensity factor at the crack tip. Third, the analytical expression on dynamic stress intensity factor at the crack tip is obtained. At last, some calculating cases are plotted to show how the frequencies of incident wave, the piezoelectric characteristic parameters of the material and the geometry of the crack and the circular cavity influence upon the dynamic stress intensity factors. While some of the calculating results are compared with the same situation about a straight crack and with static solutions.

Dynamic stress intensity factor is investigated theoretically on two dissimilar piezoelectric media with an interfacial crack at the edge of a circular cavity subjected to time-harmonic incident anti-plane shearing in present paper. The formulations are based on the methods of Green’s function and conjunction. Dynamic stress intensity factor at the crack’s tip are obtained by solving boundary value problems with the methods of conjunction and crack-division technique. The calculating results are plotted so as to show how the frequencies of incident wave, all kinds of physical parameters of two dissimilar piezoelectric materials, applied electric loads and geometric parameters influence on the dynamic stress intensity factor (DSIF). While some of the calculating results are compared with other published documents.

A dynamic stress-intensity factor and energy release rate are obtained for a running semi-infinite crack traversing a strip of elastic material subjected to out-of-plane bending. It is shown that the maximum ratio of crack tip velocity to shear wave velocity is identical to the maximum ratio of flexural wave velocity to shear wave velocity in the limit of vanishingly small wavelength. The dynamic stress-intensity factor is written as the product of a static stress-intensity factor multiplied by a function of Poisson’s ratio and crack tip velocity the function decreasing monotonically with increasing crock tip velocity. The energy release rate is shown to be independent of crack tip velocity for this type of problem.

Abstract The transient elastodynamic response due to concentrated normal or shear impact loads on the faces of a semi-infinite crack in orthotropic materials is examined. Solution for the stress intensity factor history around the crack tip is found. Laplace and Fourier transforms together with the Wiener-Hopf technique are employed to solve the equations of motion in terms of displacements. An asymptotic expression for the stress near the crack tip is analyzed which leads to the dynamic stress intensity factor in modes I and II. Similar to the isotropic case, it is found that the stress intensity factor has a singularity and discontinuity when the Rayleigh wave emitted from the load arrives at the crack tip. Results are presented for a typical orthotropic material.

The dynamic stress field near a propagating crack tip is usually characterized in terms of one parameter, namely, the dynamic stress intensity factor. While analytically this is an exact representation at the crack tip itself, under transient conditions, the domain of dominance of the stress intensity factor varies as discussed by Ma and Freund (1986). In this paper, we present experimental results which show that while the stress intensity factor may dominate the near tip stress field under transient conditions as long as the crack velocity is small, it may not be dominant over an appreciable region under other transient conditions of crack tip motion, thus making it difficult to determine this quantity experimentally.

The stress singularity eigen-equation for V-notch in a bi-material plate is obtained. A new definition of dynamic stress intensity factor of a crack perpendicular to bi-material interface is put forward, and then is extended to any V-notch in bi-material plate. A formula of stress extrapolation method to calculate dynamic stress intensity factors of V-notch in bi-material plate is obtained. As an example, the three points bending sample with two materials is investigated.

A theoretical method is developed to study the magnetoelastic coupled wave and dynamic stress intensity around a cylindrical aperture in exponential graded piezomagnetic materials. By employing the decoupling technique, the coupled magnetoelastic governing equations are decomposed. Then the analytic solutions of elastic wave fields and magnetic fields are presented by using the wave function expansion method. By satisfying the boundary conditions of the aperture, the mode coefficients, and the analytic solutions of dynamic stress intensity factors are determined. The numerical examples of the dynamic stress intensity factor near the aperture are presented. The numerical results indicate that the incident wave number, the piezomagnetic properties, and the nonhomogeneous parameter of materials highly influence the dynamic stress around the aperture.

Dynamic interaction is investigated theoretically between a circular cavity and a crack near the surface in a semi-infinite piezoelectric medium subjected to time-harmonic incident anti-plane shearing in this paper. The formulations are based on the method of complex variable and Green’s function. Dynamic stress concentration factors at the edge of the circular cavity and dynamic stress intensity factors at the crack tip are obtained by solving boundary value problems with the method of orthogonal function expansion. The calculating results are plotted to show how the frequencies and the orientation of incident wave, piezoelectric characteristic parameters of the material and the structural geometries influence upon the dynamic stress concentration factor (DSCF) and dynamic stress intensity factor (DSIF).
