Moving Griffith crack in an orthotropic strip with punches at boundary faces

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2368435





Summary: Integral transform technique is employed to solve the elastodynamic problem of steady-state propagation of a Griffith crack centrally situated along the midplane of orthotropic strip of finite thickness \(2h\) and subjected to point loading with centrally situated moving punches under constant pressure along the boundaries of the layer. The problem is reduced to solution of a pair of simultaneous singular integral equations with Cauchy-type singularities which have finally been solved through the finite Hilbert transform technique. For large \(h\), analytical expression for the stress intensity factor at the crack tip is obtained. Graphical plots of the numerical results are also presented.
