At first, a hybrid boundary element method used for three-dimensional linear elastic fracture analysis is established on the basis of the first and the second kind of boundary integral equations. Then the concerned basic theories and numerical approaches including the discretization of boundary integral equations, the divisions of different boundary elements, and the procedures for the calculations of singular and hypersingular integrals are presented in detail. Finally, the stress intensity factors of surface cracks in finite thickness plates and cylindrical pressure vessels are computed by the proposed method. The numerical results show that the hybrid boundary element method has very high accuracy for the analysis of surface crack. 相似文献
The purpose of this paper is to present a comprehensive range of results of mode I SIFs of three-dimensional surface cracks in internally pressurized thick-walled cylinders. The hybrid boundary element method is summarily reviewed and used to calculate the SIFs of surface cracks in pressurized thick-walled cylinders. The analyzed ratio of crack depth to wall thickness ranges from 0.2 to 0.8; the ratio of crack depth to crack length ranges from 0.25 to 1.0; and the ratio of wall thickness to cylinder radius is 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0. The present normalized SIFs are also compared with other solutions from the literature. The recent results of the body force method and the finite element method agree well (ca 3%), and the early ones of the boundary integral equation and the finite element method agree fairly well (ca 10%) with the present results. 相似文献

In the study, the through-thickness microstructure and its effects on the ductility and strain heterogeneity in high-pressure die-cast AE44 alloy were investigated. The results show that the studied alloy had a gradient microstructure, where two fine-grained skins sandwiched a core with coarse externally solidified crystals (ESCs) embedded in fine grains. In the core, where porosity concentrated, the ultra-coarse ESCs with sizes up to 600 μm were observed. A great amount of Al11RE3 phase, as the predominant intermetallic phase, was distributed in homogeneously through the thickness. High-resolution digital image correlation (DIC) measurement coupled with electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was employed to reveal the deformation inhomogeneity and its root cause. It was found that considerable strain localization mainly appeared in the ultra-coarse ESCs with soft orientation for basal slip and the regions where porosity appeared. Unlike the yield strengths and ultimate tensile strengths, the elongations showed a significant variation. Not only defects but also the ultra-coarse ESCs were the primary factors responsible for the variation in ductility.
