Abstract: | The shielding and amplification effects of multiple inclusions and microcracks on the tip or the growth path of a main crack
under dynamic loading are investigated using numerical simulations. The simulations employ a combined numerical tool based
on the time-domain boundary element method together with the sub-region technique for multi-regions, the maximum circumferential
stress criterion for crack-growth direction and discrete modelling for the crack propagation. New elements of constant length
are added to the moving crack-tip to simulate the growth at an adaptable time-step according to the crack propagation criterion.
Of particular interest is the study of the effects of the sizes and positions of inclusions and microcracks and the material
combinations on the dynamic stress intensity factors and the crack growth path. The numerical results demonstrate the crack-tip
shielding and amplification effects of inclusions and micro-cracks. |
