A numerical Green’s function for multiple cracks in anisotropic bodies
نویسندگان
چکیده
The numerical construction of a Green’s function for multiple interacting planar cracks in an anisotropic elastic space is considered. The numerical Green’s function can be used to obtain a special boundary integral method for an important class of two-dimensional elastostatic problems involving planar cracks in an anisotropic body.

Boundary Element Method for Mixed Mode Fracture Analysis
Denda and Marante [1] have developed the boundary element method for the mixed mode fracture analysis of multiple curvilinear cracks in the general anisotropic solids in two dimensions for which in-plane Mode I, II, and out-of-plane Mode III, of fracture are coupled. They have developed the crack tip singular element (CTSE) to model any curvilinear cracks, including center and edge cracks. The ...
متن کاملThermoelastic Fracture Parameters for Anisotropic Plates
This paper deals with the determination of the effect of varying material properties on the value of the stress intensity factors, KI and KII, for anisotropic plates containing cracks and subjected to a temperature change. Problems involving cracks and body forces, as well as thermal loads are analysed. The quadratic isoperimetric element formulation is utilized, and SIFs may be directly obtain...
متن کاملOn the residue calculus evaluation of the 3-D anisotropic elastic Green’s function
An algorithm based upon the residue calculus for computing three-dimensional anisotropic elastic Green’s function and its derivatives has been presented in Sales and Gray (Comput. Structures 1998; 69:247–254). It has been shown that the algorithm runs three to four times faster than the standard Wilson–Cruse interpolation scheme. However, the main concern of the Sales–Gray algorithm is its nume...

The boundary element formulation for analysing interaction between a hole and multiple cracks in piezoelectric materials is presented. Using Green’s function for hole problems and variational principle, a boundary element model (BEM) for a 2-D thermopiezoelectric solid with cracks and holes has been developed and used to calculate stress intensity factors of the crack-hole problem. In BEM, the ...
متن کاملResidue approach for evaluating the 3D anisotropic elastic Green’s function: multiple roots
A numerical algorithm based upon the residue calculus for computing the three-dimensional anisotropic elastic Green’s function and its derivatives has been presented by, among the others, Sales and Gray. Although this residue approach is in general faster than the standard Wilson–Cruse interpolation scheme, the convergence rate and accuracy can seriously degrade in the neighborhood of a non-sim...
