[01067] Stoneley wave propagation at the interface between two initially stressed medium with interface energy

  • Session Date & Time : 5C (Aug.25, 13:20-15:00)
  • Type : Contributed Talk
  • Abstract : The present study investigates the propagation of Stoneley waves at interface of two distinct imperfectly bonded solid half-spaces considering strain and kinetic energies localized at interface. Gurtin−Murdoch (1975) and Eremeyev (2016) approaches are used to derive interface strain energy density, stress tensor, kinetic energy density accounting for non-perfect interface. Comparative analysis of dispersion curves is done numerically and presented through graphs. The findings have applications in geosciences for non-destructive characterization of thin inter-phases between solids.

[01027] A Discussion on Numerical Methods to Solve Structural Engineering Problems

  • Session Date & Time : 5C (Aug.25, 13:20-15:00)
  • Type : Contributed Talk
  • Abstract : A number of numerical methods are developed by researchers to solve the linear/nonlinear, ordinary differential equations (ODEs) / partial differential equations (PDEs) developed for structural analysis such as vibration/bending/buckling/wave-propagation analysis in plates. The present talk is focused on a discussion of numerical approaches and their accuracy and convergence for plate vibrations i.e., linear PDE which can be extended as semi-analytic approaches to solving the nonlinear PDE during critical vibration analysis of plates.

[00873] Stress Intensity factor for an interface crack between two orthotropic material

  • Session Date & Time : 5C (Aug.25, 13:20-15:00)
  • Type : Contributed Talk
  • Abstract : This present article deals with the investigation of elasto-dynamic response of a finite crack under normal impact loading at the interface of two semi-infinite orthotropic strips. Laplace and Fourier Integral transforms are employed to reduce the problem to the solution of a pair of dual integral equations. The analytical expressions of stress intensity factors of the crack at the interface problem are found.

[00751] Crack Loading and Growth Analyses with the Virtual Element Method

  • Session Date & Time : 5C (Aug.25, 13:20-15:00)
  • Type : Contributed Talk
  • Abstract : The virtual element method is a modern discretization scheme for solving boundary value problems on polytopal meshes, sparing the explicit knowledge of element shape functions. In the context of numerical fracture mechanics, crack tip loading analyses and in particular crack growth simulations benefit from its ability of handling arbitrary complex meshes straightforwardly. This work aims to discuss challenges and opportunities of implementing concepts of fracture mechanics in the context of the virtual element method.

[00026] STRESS ANALYSIS OF AN EDGE CRACK UNDER TIME-HARMONIC WAVE DISTURBANCE

  • Session Date & Time : 5C (Aug.25, 13:20-15:00)
  • Type : Contributed Talk
  • Abstract : This article determines a stress intensity factor (SIF) at the tip of an edge crack in two considered models. Problem-1 is an orthotropic strip of a finite thickness bonded by an orthotropic half-plane, and problem-2 is an orthotropic vertical semi-infinite strip. Edge cracks have been invaded perpendicularly by time-harmonic elastic waves. The system has been solved by using Fourier transform and Schmidt method to find the approximate analytical expression for the SIF. The variations of in plane normalized SIF for the different crack lengths and thickness were depicted graphically (2D) for different particular cases.
