Solution for a crack stiffened by an elliptic layer in antiplane elasticity
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper provides a solution for a crack stiffened by elliptic layer in antiplane elasticity. The crack is embedded in an elliptic region and stiffened by a confocally elliptic layer. The whole medium is composed of three portions, the cracked elliptic plate, the confocally elliptic layer and the infinite matrix. The remote loading is applied. The cracked elliptic plate and the infinite matrix have the same shear modulus of elasticity. The stiffening elliptic layer has a higher shear modulus of elasticity. By using the complex variable and the continuity conditions along interfaces, the problem can be solved. One numerical example with different sizes and properties of materials is given to show the effect of the stiffening layer.
