This paper discusses the applicability of the displacement-discontinuity technique to crack propagation analysis for plane strain conditions. Results derived from the maximum strain-energy release-rate hypothesis are compared to those obtained with the critical strain-energy-density-factor theory. It is shown that for tensile stress fields both theories give similar results but that they differ for compressive stress fields. Experimental results are more in support of the maximum strain-energy release-rate model.

This paper introduces a finite element analysis software FRANC2D/L to calculate the stress intensity factor (SIF) and simulate the crack growth. Samples with infinite plate containing center crack, one hole-edge crack and two symmetrical hole-edge cracks were analyzed by this software. Comparing the SIF calculation results of the three samples based on displacement correlation method, J-integral method and virtual crack closure integral method, the results show that the three methods are all suitable for calculating the SIF problems, and the calculation precision of J-integral method and virtual crack closure integral method are better. Comparing the three crack growth criterion of maximum circumferential stress, maximum strain energy release rate and minimum strain energy density, the calculation velocity and precision of maximum circumferential stress criterion and minimum strain energy density criterion are prior to maximum strain energy release rate criterion. The calculating time and angle error of maximum strain energy release rate criterion is larger than that of the other two criterions．

This paper presents theoretical studies on the axial rigidities in strips with circular and elliptical perforations and subjected to uniaxial tension. Greenspan’s original derivations on these axial rigidities [2] were improved by using the elasticity solutions by Howland [6] and Ishida [7] for infinite strips with circular and elliptical perforations, respectively. Finally, the correction factors for centrally notched strips subjected to uniaxial tension were rederived from the above results following the energy approach by Irwin and Kies [3].

An analytical Mixed Mode I & II crack propagation model is used to analyze the experimental results of stiction failed micro cantilevers on a rigid substrate and to determine the critical strain energy release rate (adhesion energy). Using nonlinear beam deflection theory, the shape of the beam being peeled off of a rigid substrate can be accurately modeled. Results show that the model can fit the experimental data with an average root mean square error of less than 5 ran even at relatively large deflections which happens in some MEMS applications. The effects of surface roughness and/or debris are also explored and contrasted with perfectly (atomically) flat surfaces. Herein it is shown that unlike the macro-scale crack propagation tests, the surface roughness and debris trapped between the micro cantilever and the substrate can drastically effect the energy associated with creating unit new surface areas and also leads to some interesting phenomena. The polysilicon micro cantilever samples used, were fabricated by SUMMIT V™ technology in Sandia National Laboratories and were 1000 μm long, 30 μm wide and 2.6 μm thick.

Multilayered Beam

The present paper deals with an analytical study of the time-dependent delamination in a multilayered inhomogeneous cantilever beam with considering of the loading history. The multilayered beam exhibits creep behaviour that is treated by using a non-linear stress-strain-time relationship. The material properties are continuously distributed along the thickness and length of the layers. The external loading is applied in steps in order to describe the loading history. The analysis reveals that during each step of the loading, the strain energy release rate increases with time. The influences of crack length and location on the time-dependent strain energy release rate are also investigated.

Linear Elastic

This paper presents theoretical studies on the effect of plastic deformation on the strain energy release rate, G, of a plate under uniaxial tension with a central propagating crack. The linear elastic fracture mechanics solution for G is improved by using the Dugdale model for the crack and yielded region to obtain the axial rigidity of the plate. The axial rigidity is then used to obtain the solution for the strain energy release rate as the crack propagates. It is found that plastic deformation has a pronounced effect on G. A correction factor is presented for correcting the linear elastic solution for the strain energy release rate. The correction factor is found to depend upon the nominal (gross) stress to material yield stress ratio and the crack length to plate width ratio.

Edge Delamination

ABSTRACTThe edge delamination test (EDT) is being developed to measure the critical energy required to cause a thin film, under biaxial tensile stress, to debond from a rigid substrate[1]. The test uses circular features etched through biaxially stressed films adhered to a rigid substrate. If the stress is large enough, a stable debond ring grows radially about the feature. We use a finite element analysis to model the test, solving for the applied strain energy release rate as a function of crack length, feature hole radius and other geometrical parameters. The model identifies both mode I and mode II components of the strain energy release rate, and agrees with previous analytical solutions for the total debond energy. However, the model predicts, with a very refined mesh at the crack tip, the fracture process is pure mode I. To explore this result, critical strain energy release rates from the EDT and the island blister test (IBT) are compared. This agreement supports the model prediction that the failure process in the EDT is modeI peeling.
