Abstract
Utilizing distributed dislocation technique, role of surface on the response of crack in Couple stress elasticity is analysed through two configurations in a half-plane undergoing plane strain deformation: (i) buried full crack and (ii) edge crack; both normal to the free surface, subjected to far-field mode-I and mode-II loading. As a part of the quantification of surface’s contribution, measures of fracture particularly crack-opening displacement, stress-intensity factor and energy release rate are computed as a function of nearness of crack to the free surface, crack length, characteristic length and contrasted against the result in an infinite plane as well as the corresponding result in classical linear elasticity. The present study can offer design guidelines for fault tolerant design of elastic systems displaying size effect.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Solids and Structures has as its objective the publication and dissemination of original research in Mechanics of Solids and Structures as a field of Applied Science and Engineering. It fosters thus the exchange of ideas among workers in different parts of the world and also among workers who emphasize different aspects of the foundations and applications of the field.
Standing as it does at the cross-roads of Materials Science, Life Sciences, Mathematics, Physics and Engineering Design, the Mechanics of Solids and Structures is experiencing considerable growth as a result of recent technological advances. The Journal, by providing an international medium of communication, is encouraging this growth and is encompassing all aspects of the field from the more classical problems of structural analysis to mechanics of solids continually interacting with other media and including fracture, flow, wave propagation, heat transfer, thermal effects in solids, optimum design methods, model analysis, structural topology and numerical techniques. Interest extends to both inorganic and organic solids and structures.
