Free-Edge Stress Singularity in Bonded Dissimilar Orthotropic Materials Under Thermal Stress Leading

Interfacial edge crack between two bonded dissimilar orthotropic strips under antiplane point loading

A closed-form solution is obtained for the interfacial edge crack between two bonded dissimilar orthotropic strips loaded by antiplane point loading in form of screw dislocation or line force. Conformal mapping and existing dislocation solutions are utilized for constructing the fundamental solution of the problem. The stress intensity factor (SIF) and the energy release rate (ERR) are obtained...

Thermal Stress in Bonded Joints

This paper considers the stress distributions in bonded materials induced by differential expansion or contraction of these materials. The analytical approach is similar to the lap joint theories attributed to Volkersen and expanded by Goland and Reissner. Several simple and typical analytical models are presented to bring out the relative importance of dlrerent geometrical and material paramet...

Behavior of Materials under Conditions of Thermal Stress

Thermal Stress Analysis of Orthotropic Graded Rotating Discs

The present study deals with stress analysis on orthotropic graded rotating annular discs subjected to temperature distributions parabolically decreasing with radius. I have used infinitesimal deformation theory of elasticity and for graded parameters power law functions in the solution procedure. With the increasing temperature, the tangential stress component decreased at the inner surface wh...

Control of Welding Residual Stress for Dissimilar Laser Welded Materials

The most common problem of welding dissimilar metals (DMWs) with respect to residual stresses is the differences in the coefficient of thermal expansion and heat conductivity of the two welded metals. In the present work, a CO2 continuous laser welding process was successfully applied and optimized for joining a dissimilar AISI 316 stainless steel and low carbon steel plates. The Taguchi approa...
