Stress Analysis of 3D Generally Anisotropic Elastic Solids Using the Boundary Element Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
The explicit, closed-form expressions of the Green’s functions for generally anisotropic elastic solids in three-dimensions that have been derived using Stroh’s formalism are employed in a formulation of the boundary element method (BEM). Unlike several other existing schemes, the evaluation of these fundamental solutions does not require further numerical integration in the BEM algorithm; they have surprisingly not been implemented previously. Three numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the veracity of the implementation and the general applicability of the BEM for the 3D elastic stress analysis of generally anisotropic solids. The results are compared with known solutions in the literature where possible, or those obtained by another numerical method, namely, the finite element method; in all cases, very good agreement is shown to be achieved.

متن کاملA finite element approach to study cavitation instabilities in non-linear elastic solids under general loading conditions
This paper proposes an effective numerical method to study cavitation instabilities in non-linear elastic solids. The basic idea is to examine—by means of a 3D finite element model—the mechanical response under affine boundary conditions of a block of non-linear elastic material that contains a single infinitesimal defect at its center. The occurrence of cavitation is identified as the event wh...

In fracture mechanics and failure analysis, cracked media energy and consequently stress intensity factors (SIFs) play a crucial and significant role. Based on linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM), the SIFs and energy of cracked media may be estimated. This study presents the novel modification of decoupled scaled boundary finite element method (DSBFEM) to model cracked media. In this metho...

The dual boundary element method is formulated for the analysis of linear elastic cracked plates. The dual boundary integral equations of the method are the displacement and the traction equations. When these equations are simultaneously applied along the crack boundaries, general crack problems can be solved in a single-region formulation, with both crack boundaries discretized with discontinu...
