Generalized Dundurs constants for anisotropic bimaterials

From MaRDI portal
(Redirected from Publication:675387)





In the case of a bimaterial that consists of two dissimilar isotropic materials bonded together along their interface, the stress depends on two composite elastic constants known as Dundurs constants. For anisotropic elastic materials, plane strain deformations are possible for monoclinic materials with the symmetry plane at \(x_3=0\). For these materials, the plane strain solution is in terms of two complex variables \(z_1=x_1+p_1x_2\) and \(z_2=x_1+p_2x_2\), where \(p_1\) and \(p_2\) are complex eigenvalues depending on elastic constants. If the boundary conditions are prescribed in terms of tractions, it is shown that the stress is independent of elastic constants except \(p_1\) and \(p_2\). In the case of a bimaterial that consists of two dissimilar monoclinic materials bonded together along their interface, the stress depends on two composite elastic constants \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) (in addition to \(p_1\) and \(p_2\) in both materials). They reduce to Dundurs constants in the isotropic limit. The result remains valid when the interface is not perfectly bonded.
