Abstract: | Summary The fracture parameters, stress intensity factor and T-stress are obtained for edge cracks aligned along the gradient in finite
size elastically graded plates using the technique of boundary collocation. A scheme for extending the recently derived crack
tip stress field for elastically graded materials is proposed. Using this extended stress field, the fracture parameters are
evaluated for edge cracks subjected to far field tension and three point bending. The results for far field tension agreed
well with published theoretical results over a good range of elastic gradients. The maximum shear stress calculated over the
entire domain of the cracked plate using boundary collocation agrees very well with that obtained from finite element analysis.
The efficacy of the extended stress field in capturing the effects of the elastic gradient on the stresses and fracture parameters
is thus established in this study. |
