Reduction of free-edge stress intensities in anisotropic bimaterials
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the free-edge stresses in anisotropic bimaterials through the use of the free-edge stress intensity factor, Kf . This requires a determination of the singularity order at the free-surface as well as a calculation of the near-field stresses. We determine the order of the singularity for arbitrary free-surface orientation of the upper material using an eigenvalue analysis for anisotropic bimaterials. The interfacial stresses are determined using a boundary element calculation based on anisotropic, bimaterial Green’s functions. The variation of Kf with free-surface orientation is determined. We find that the free-edge singularity vanishes for certain angles dependent on the anisotropic elastic constants.

PAIRED ANISOTROPIC DISTRIBUTION FOR IMAGE SELECTIVE SMOOTHING
In this paper, we present a novel approach for image selective smoothing by the evolution of two paired nonlinear partial differential equations. The distribution coefficient in de-noising equation controls the speed of distribution, and is determined by the edge-strength function. In the previous works, the edge-strength function depends on isotropic smoothing of the image...

The bonding strength between dissimilar materials in composites is often relatively weak. Interface debonding and cracking are of common occurrence. As an e ective method to minimize such failures, ® bre stitching is used to enhance the bonding strength when joining layers in polymer composites. With the presence of the reinforcing ® bre, the overall elastic response for each component of the ...
