Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific research on functionally graded materials (FGM's) looks at functions of gradients in materials comprising thermodynamic, mechanical, chemical, optical, electromagnetic, and/or biological aspects. This collection of technical papers represents current research interests with regard to the fracture behaviour of FGM's. The papers provide a balance between theoretical, computational, and experimental techniques. It also indicates areas for increased development, such as constraint effects, full experimental characterization of engineering FGM's under static and dynamic loading, development of fracture criteria with predictive capability, multiphysics and multiscale failure considerations, and connection of research with industrial applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes progress on several theoretical questions concerning contact and fracture phenomena for viscoelastic material. Specifically, the following topics are discussed: (1) the dynamic, steady-state propagation of a semi-infinite crack in a general, isotropic and homogeneous linearly viscoelastic layer of finite thickness; (2) the determination of the angular dependence of the stress field in the neighborhood of a dynamically propagating crack tip in linearly viscoelastic material; (3) the quasi-static and steady-state sliding of a rigid indentor over a power-law inhomogeneous, linearly viscoelastic halfplane; and (4) the quasi-static propagation of a semi-infinite, mode I crack in a power-law inhomogeneous, linearly viscoelastic body.

Download or read book The Energy Release Rate for a Quasic Static Mode I Crack in a Nonhomogeneous Linearly Viscoelastic Body written by L. Schovanec and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Energy Release Rate (ERR) for the quasi-static problem of a semiinfinite mode I crack propagating through an inhomogeneous isotropic linearly viscoelastic body is examined. The shear modulus is assumed to have a power law dependence on depth from the plane of the crack and a very general behavior in time. A Barenblatt type failure zone is introduced in order to cancel the singular stress and a formula for the ERR is derived which explicitly displays the combined influences of material viscoelasticity and inhomogeneity. The ERR is calculated for both power law material and the standard linear solid and the qualitative features of the ERR are presented along with numerical illustrations. Keywords: viscoelasticity; dynamic fracture; dynamic energy release rate; Barenblatt zone; crack growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main emphasis of these Lecture Notes is on constructing solutions to specific viscoelastic boundary value problems; however properties of the equations of viscoelasticity that provide the theoretical underpinnings for constructing such solutions are also covered. Particular attention is paid to the solution of crack and contact problems. This work is of interest in the context of polymer fracture, modelling of material behaviour, rebound testing of polymers and the phenomenon of hysteretic friction.

Download or read book Fatigue Crack Growth in Rubber Materials written by Gert Heinrich and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book summarizes recent international research and experimental developments regarding fatigue crack growth investigations of rubber materials. It shows the progress in fundamental as well as advanced research of fracture investigation of rubber material under fatigue loading conditions, especially from the experimental point of view. However, some chapters will describe the progress in numerical modeling and physical description of fracture mechanics and cavitation phenomena in rubbers. Initiation and propagation of cracks in rubber materials are dominant phenomena which determine the lifetime of these soft rubber materials and, as a consequence, the lifetime of the corresponding final rubber parts in various fields of application. Recently, these phenomena became of great scientific interest due to the development of new experimental methods, concepts and models. Furthermore, crack phenomena have an extraordinary impact on rubber wear and abrasion of automotive tires; and understanding of crack initiation and growth in rubbers will help to support the growthing number of activities and worldwide efforts of reduction of tire wear losses and abrasion based emissions.

Download or read book Handbook of Contact Mechanics written by Valentin L. Popov and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-26 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book contains a structured collection of the complete solutions of all essential axisymmetric contact problems. Based on a systematic distinction regarding the type of contact, the regime of friction and the contact geometry, a multitude of technically relevant contact problems from mechanical engineering, the automotive industry and medical engineering are discussed. In addition to contact problems between isotropic elastic and viscoelastic media, contact problems between transversal-isotropic elastic materials and functionally graded materials are addressed, too. The optimization of the latter is a focus of current research especially in the fields of actuator technology and biomechanics. The book takes into account adhesive effects which allow access to contact-mechanical questions about micro- and nano-electromechanical systems. Solutions of the contact problems include both the relationships between the macroscopic force, displacement and contact length, as well as the stress and displacement fields at the surface and, if appropriate, within the half-space medium. Solutions are always obtained with the simplest available method - usually with the method of dimensionality reduction (MDR) or approaches which use the solution of the non-adhesive normal contact problem to solve the respective contact problem.
