Transonic Crack Growth along a Bimaterial Interface : an Investigation of the Asymptotic Structure of Near-tip Fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract-Transonic interfacial crack growth in bimaterial systems is analysed, and the asymptotic field around the moving crack tip is obtained by the straightforward approach of analytic continuation. The power of singularity is less than l/2 for anti-plane shear deformation. For in-plane deformation, the power of singularity can be real or complex, depending on the speed of the crack tip. Across the Rayleigh wave speed, the real part of the power has a jump of -l/2, and the imaginary part approaches infinity. The stresses are singular, not only around the crack tip, but also on an entire ray moving with the crack tip. These observations are illustrated by examples using PMMA/steel and Al/A&O, bimaterial systems. Copyright 6 1996 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

Partition of unity enrichment for bimaterial interface cracks
Partition of unity enrichment techniques are developed for bimaterial interface cracks. A discontinuous function and the two-dimensional near-tip asymptotic displacement functions are added to the finite element approximation using the framework of partition of unity. This enables the domain to be modelled by finite elements without explicitly meshing the crack surfaces. The crack-tip enrichmen...
متن کاملOscillatory Singularity Behaviors Near Interface Crack Tip for Mode II of Orthotropic Bimaterial
The fracture behaviors near the interface crack tip for mode II of orthotropic bimaterial are discussed. The oscillatory singularity fields are researched. The stress functions are chosen which contain twelve undetermined coefficients and an unknown singularity exponent. Based on the boundary conditions and linear independence, the system of twelve nonhomogeneous linear equations is derived. Ac...

متن کاملShear Dominated Transonic Interfacial Crack Growth in a Bimaterial-i. Experimental Observations
In this work we describe a series of impact experiments performed on PMMA/4340 steel edge cracked bimaterial plates. Specimens were impacted at 20 m SK’ in a one point bend configuration using a high speed gas gun. Dynamic interfacial crack propagation was observed using the optical method of Coherent Gradient Sensing and high speed photography. Very high crack tip accelerations (IO’ m SF’) and...
متن کامل~ Pergamon Dynamic Decohesion of Bimaterials: Experimental Observations and Failure Criteria
s--Some results of high speed interferometric measurements on dynamically propagating interfacial cracks are presented. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)/steel bimaterial specimens of the one-point bend type are used. They are impact loaded using either a drop weight tower device or a high speed gas gun. This results in two distinct groups of experiments at different loading rates. In all cases ver...
