Two-dimensional fracture mechanics problems for solids with sharp and rounded V-notches
Source abstract
Abstract
The survey of research on the problems of fracture mechanics of solids with V-shaped notches is discussed. The methods of solution of plane problems of the elasticity theory for domains with angular points on boundary contours are considered. Special attention is paid to the results of the research which authors obtained applying the unified approach to the solution of stress concentration problems in the neighborhood of the vertices of sharp and rounded V-notches. The solutions of elastostatics problems for domains with rounded V-shaped notches were obtained by singular integral equation method. Based on the relation between stress intensity factor at the sharp notch vertex and the stress concentration factor at the vertex of rounded V-notch (notch with straight edges and vertex rounded with circular arc), the stress intensity factors for V-notches in various domains were obtained. The presented examples include notch stress intensity factors for periodically placed notches in the edge of half-plane, diamond and lens-like holes in infinite plane. Through limit transition from the system of periodically placed diamond-shaped ovals to infinite double-sided notch, the stress concentration factors for rounded deep V-notch and the notch stress intensity factors for sharp notch were obtained. The comparison between calculated data and known solutions for the hyperbolic notch documents strong influence of the notch shape in the neighborhood of the rounded vertex on the stress concentration values for small vertex radii. The numerical results are presented not only in graphical form but also the numerous approximation formulas are given. Based on the solution of the nonlinear problem of rounded V-notch with plastic strip at the vertex, the new deformation fracture criterion is proposed. This criterion contains only standard strength parameters and it is intended to determine fracture toughness of the elements with rounded notches made of quasi-brittle materials.
