Presented is an approach for obtaining whole-field stress distributions of a bi-material rectangular plate, which is composed of plate I and plate II with a fixed boundary and subjected to external loads, using elasticity mechanics theory. There are two cracks at the edges of the interface of plate I and plate II, which are called as bilateral interface cracks. In the analysis, the effects of the ratio of Young’s modulus of material I (plate I) and to that of material II (plate II) and the ratio of the crack length to the width of the plate on the stress distributions in the vicinity of the interface were examined. Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) and normalized SIF equations were also calculated through the stresses in the vicinity of the crack tips.

Due to the dangerous alarm for many engineering applications such as energy generating systems and pipelines transporting oil, gas and its derivatives under high-pressure, a study of the effect of thermal and mechanical loading on the cracked materials and pipes at high-temperature environments is required. In this work, the influence of the thermal loadings on stresses analysis of pressurized and cracked pressurized pipes has been solved numerically where the mode I crack's type has been considered. The modeling process mainly aims to find the stress intensity factor, J-integral calculations and the stress distributions. The accuracy of the results has been compared with analytical solutions of a pressurized cylinder. The mesh around the crack have been modeled in a careful way to obtain accurate stress distributions. It was found that the surface’s temperature has a significant effect on stress distributions, for example, the stresses increased by 50% with increasing the temperature differences between the inner and outer pipe’s diameter. Additionally, the stress intensity factor and the J-integrals values were calculated for different crack length ratios and temperature differences. It is found at the crack length ratio of 0.6 the stress intensity factors increased up to 50% from 45 to 76 and J-integral increased by 77% from 250 kN/m to 430 kN/m. Also, the influence of fluid’s temperature investigated, and the result showed that by increasing the fluid’s temperature without cracks, the stresses decreased by 33%. Also, it was found that for different crack length ratios the J-integral and stress intensity reduces when the fluid’s temperature increases.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the determination of critical stress intensity factor (KC) both by experimental method and three-dimensional (3D) finite element simulations. Design/methodology/approach CT specimens of different compositions of Al6061-TiC composites (3wt%, 5wt% and 7wt% TiC) with variable crack length to width (a/W=0.3-0.6) ratios are machined from as-cast composite block. After fatigue pre-cracking the specimens to a required crack length, experimental load vs crack mouth opening displacement data are plotted to calculate the KC value. Elastic 3D finite element simulations have been conducted for CT specimens of various compositions and a/W ratios to compute KC. The experimental results indicate that the magnitude of KC depends on a/W ratios, and significantly decreases with increase in a/W ratios of the specimen. Findings From 3D finite element simulation, the KC results at the centre of CT specimens for various Al6061-TiC composites and a/W ratios show satisfactory agreement with experimental results compared to the surface. Originality/value The research work contained in this manuscript was conducted during 2015-2016. It is original work except where due reference is made. The authors confirm that the research in their work is original, and that all the data given in the article are real and authentic. If necessary, the paper can be recalled, and errors corrected.

The theory of linear elastic fracture mechanic (LEFM) has proven that we can evaluate the amount of stress located at the crack tip by determining the stress intensity factor (). The stress at the tip of a sharp crack has the highest stress which can lead to failure on the material. Thus, the cracks within human bones are quite complicated because of the bone microstructure. There are a few factors that can minimize the effect of the cracks so that patients can heal much faster. Hence, this paper focuses on how several crack distances, between two parallel edge cracks can affect the value of stress intensity factor (). Using the LEFM theory, the interaction between two neighboring crack tips was investigated.

This paper primarily presents the automation computational analysis techniques to determine the dynamic stress intensity factor for the stiffened damaged aircraft fuselage subjected to triangle blast load. 3-dimention panel models can be created using parameterization and the dynamic stress intensity factor can be obtained in the procedure of the blast automatically. A typical stiffened curved panel model which consists of 7 frames and 8 stringers is calculated. The calculation results show that the peak SIF value of the crack in the panel with strips under blast load is always smaller than that without strips for all longitudinal crack lengths; the strips can slow down the crack growth markedly and the effect of the strips on SIF is most obvious when the crack tips are close to the edge of strips; the blast load time has effect on the SIF peak value, and the effect is most significant when the load time is about 25 milliseconds for the panel with strips.
