Abstract: | When a crack propagates with acceleration, deceleration and time rates of change of stress intensity factors, it is very important for us to understand the effects of acceleration, deceleration and time rates of change of stress intensity factors on the individual stresses and displacements at the crack tip. Therefore, the crack tip stress and displacement fields for a transiently propagating crack along gradient in functionally graded materials (FGMs) with an exponential variation of shear modulus and density are developed and the characteristics of a transiently propagating crack from the fields are analyzed. The effects of the rate of change of the stress intensity factor and the crack tip acceleration on the individual stresses at the crack tip are opposite each other. Specially, the isochromatics (constant maximum shear stress) of Mode I tilt backward around the crack tip with an increase of crack tip acceleration, and tilt forward around the crack tip with an increase of the rate of change of the dynamic mode I stress intensity factor. This paper was recommended for publication in revised form by Associate Editor Chongdu Cho Kwang-Ho Lee received a Ph.D. degree in Yeungnam University in 1993. Dr. Lee is currently a professor at the School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering at Kyungpook National University in Korea. He also had worked in KOMSCO as an engineer and researcher (1982.3–1996.2). He is interested in the fields of fracture and stress analysis on the composite, interface, nano and functionally graded materials by theoretical and experimental mechanics. Specially, his major interest is analysis of dynamic crack tip fields. Young-Jae Lee received his B.S degree in Agricultural Civil Engineering from Gyeongsang National University (GNU) in 1982. He then received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from GNU in 1984 and 1995, respectively. Dr. Lee is currently a professor at the department of Civil Engineering at Kyungpook National University in Korea. From 2005 to 2006, he had served as an editor of Korea Institute for Structure Maintenance and Inspection. His research interests are in the area of evaluation, diagnosis and optimum design of structure. Sang-Bong Cho received a Ph. D. degree from Tokyo University in 1989. Dr. Cho is currently a professor at the division of Mechanical and Automation Engineering at Kyungnam University in Korea. His research interests are in the area of fracture mechanics, FEM stress analysis and fretting fatigue. |
