On the Validation of Williams' Stress Function for Dynamic Fracture Mechanics

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Finite Block Method (FBM) for computing the Stress Intensity Factors (SIFs) and the T-stress under transient dynamic load is presented. In order to capture the stress intensity factor and the T-stress, the Williams' series of stress function is introduced in the circular core for statics generally. In the Laplace domain, the Deng's series of stress and displacement is too complicated to be used easily like Williams' series. However, the numerical solutions show that Williams' solution of series is still valid with smaller core size. Comparisons have been made with the solutions given by the finite element method (ABAQUS).
