Study of crack growing through an interface of two different materials based on analysis of crack profile in the vicinity of crack tip
Bareš, Pavel
Paper describes a numerical study of a crack penetrating the interface between two different elastic materials. The stability conditions of a crack terminating at the interface are formulated. The method introduces herein for these purposes is based on the assumption that the crack will start to propagate through the interface into the second material M2 when the shape of the crack face in the immediate vicinity of the crack tip will correspond to that in the same sample but made of purely homogeneous material M2. The numerical calculations are performed on the sample with surface protective layer under the small scale yielding conditions. The resulting critical stresses are compared with those obtained by other approaches. All results are in qualitative agreement. This method should be applicable in cases of larger crack-tip plastic deformations as well, where so far known methods are not able. All numerical calculations are performed by finite element method (system ANSYS).
Determination of threshold values of components with protective layers
Náhlík, Luboš ; Bareš, Pavel
The contribution is focused on the influence of existing fatigue cracks in protective layers on fatigue life of structures with protective layers. The problem is solved under conditions of linear elastic fracture mechanics with help of finite element method. Is shown, that in the case of the hard protective layer on the ductile substrate represents existing crack with its tip on the bi-material interface dangerous singular stress concentrator, because of decrease of threshold values of applied loading necessary for crack propagation. Knowledge of crack propagation in protective film is of paramount importance when studying potential failure of the substrate.
