Green's function for general disk-crack problems

Yong Li Xu

International Journal of Solids and Structures > 1995 > 32 > 1 > 63-77

The two-dimensional elasticity problem of a circular disk with an embedded edge dislocation is considered. Using Muskbelishvili's complex variable method and reducing the case under consideration to a Hilbert problem, closed-form solutions are obtained. The dislocation solution may be used as a Green's function to tackle general disk-crack cases. As an example, a disk containing a slant crack subjected...

On the quasi-invariant phenomena in the axisymmetrical interface crack problem and its application to fixed end cylinder investigation

V.V. Loboda, A.E. Sheveleva

International Journal of Solids and Structures > 1995 > 32 > 1 > 117-125

A penny-shaped crack in the central part of a semi-infinite cylinder with a fixed end is under consideration. The model of an interface crack with a contact ring near its tip is used. Similar to the plane problem, the quasi-invariant of stress intensity factor combinations relative to the contact ring width is obtained, and the energy release rate is given. By using Fourier and Hankel integral transforms,...

Quasi-static and ballistic perforation of carbon fiber laminates

Werner Goldsmith, C.K.H. Dharan, Hui Chang

International Journal of Solids and Structures > 1995 > 32 > 1 > 89-103

The partial and complete perforation of woven carbon fiber/epoxy laminates with thicknesses ranging from 1.3 to 6.6 mm by 60° cylindro-conical hard steel strikers at normal incidence has been examined under both quasi-static and dynamic conditions. Quasi-static experiments were conducted in a standard experiments were conducted in a standard testing machine at rates ranging from 0.012 to 6.5 s⁻¹,...

Multiple scale analysis of heterogeneous elastic structures using homogenization theory and voronoi cell finite element method

Somnath Ghosh, Kyunghoon Lee, Suresh Moorthy

International Journal of Solids and Structures > 1995 > 32 > 1 > 27-62

This paper deals with the development of a multiple scale finite element method by combining the asymptotic homogenization theory with Voronoi cell (VCFEM) for microstructural modeling. The Voronoi cell finite element model originates from Dirichlet tessellation of a representative material element or a base cell in the microstructure. Homogenized material coefficients for a global displacement finite...

Estimation of effective elastic moduli for composites

N. Katsube

International Journal of Solids and Structures > 1995 > 32 > 1 > 79-88

The linearly elastic deformation of a composite material with matrix outer boundary is shown to be governed by the matrix deformation, inclusion deformation and deformation due to a change in the relative inclusion geometry. The latter deformation can be shown to be independent of the inclusion material property. If the effective elastic moduli of a composite are known, then we can estimate the effective...

The general solution of three-dimensional problems in piezoelectric media

Wang Zikung, Zheng Bailin

International Journal of Solids and Structures > 1995 > 32 > 1 > 105-115

The governing equations of three-dimensional problems in transversely isotropic piezo-electric material are composed of four second order partial differential equations, in which the displacement components and electric potential functions are the essential unknowns. In this paper the so-called general solutions of these equations are obtained with the aid of a set of new potential functions which...

Dynamic analysis for an explosive test and establishment of fracture toughness locus for hy-100 steel

Joseph F. Zarzour, Dah-Wei Yuan, Mary Jane Kleinosky

International Journal of Solids and Structures > 1995 > 32 > 1 > 1-26

An investigation of the dynamic fracture behavior of a structural element was conducted by using the recently developed two parameter (J, Q) criterion. Within the framework of this methodology, a systematic study on the nature of crack tip fields and the corresponding constraints was performed. Combining rigorous computational schemes and state-of-the-art fracture toughness tests, the results obtained...
