Fracture Mechanics of Composites with Residual Stresses, Traction-loaded Cracks, and Imperfect Interfaces

چکیده
By partitioning the total stresses in a damaged composite into either mechanical and residual stresses or into initial and perturbation stresses, it was possible to derive several exact results for the energy release rate due to crack growth. These general results automatically include the effects of residual stresses, traction-loaded cracks, and imperfect interfaces. By considering approximate solutions based on admissible stress states and admissible strain states, it was possible to derive rigorous upper and lower bounds to the energy release rate for crack growth. Two examples of using these equations are mode I fracture in adhesive double cantilever beam specimens and analysis of microcracking in composite laminates.

متن کاملResidual Stress Effects in Fracture of Composites and Adhesives
Because composites and adhesive joints are made from different phases with different thermal expansion coefficients, they inevitably develop residual thermal stresses. When designing composites or adhesive joints, it is important to account for these residual stresses. It is not the magnitude of the residual stresses that matters, but rather the effect of those stresses on composite failure pro...
متن کاملFracture Mechanics of Composites with Residual Thermal Stresses
The problem of calculating the energy release rate for crack growth in an arbitrary composite in the presence of residual stresses is considered. First, a general expression is given for arbitrary, mixed traction and displacement boundary conditions. This general result is then applied to a series of specific problems including statistically homogeneous composites under traction or displacement...
