In this paper, we examine the steady state dynamic electromechanical behavior of an eccentric Yoffe crack in a piezoelectric ceramic layer bonded between two orthotropic elastic layers under the combined anti-plane mechanical shear and in-plane electrical loadings. We adopted permeable crack face condition. Numerical values on the dynamic energy release rate are obtained. The initial crack propagation orientation for PZT-5H piezoceramic is also predicted by maximum energy release rate criterion.

Dynamic stress intensity factors (DSIFs) are obtained when a crack propagates with constant velocity in rectangular functionally gradient materials (FGMs) under dynamic mode III load. To obtain the dynamic stress intensity factors, it is used the general stress and displacement fields of FGMs for propagating crack and the boundary collocation method (BCM). The stress intensity factors and energy release rates are the greatest in the increasing properties $(\xi>0)$, next constant properties $(\x=0)$ and decreasing properties $(\xi<0)$ under constant crack tip properties and crack tip speed.

The fatigue limits of crack initiation and propagation on the edge elliptical notched semi-infinite plate under completely reversed fatigue stress are determined theoretically. Assuming that the crack initiation and propagation occur when stress intensity factors of notched plate reach the critical values obtained from critical micro-crack length under plain fatigue limit loading and the threshold stress intensity factory, respectively, the fatigue limits of crack initiation and propagation are obtained. The induced theoretical fatigue limit of crack initiation is expressed in terms of plain fatigue limit, critical micro-crack length and notch shape. The one of crack propagation is in terms of threshold stress intensity factor, plain fatigue limit and notch shape. These theoretical results are showed to be in good agreement of Frost's experimental data.

Stress and displacement fields for a propagating crack in a functionally gradient material (FGM) which has exponentially varying elastic and physical properties along the direction of the crack propagation, are derived. The equations of motion in nonhomogeneous material are developed using displacement potentials. The solutions to the displacement fields and the stress fields for a crack propagating at constant speed along the gradient are obtained through an asymptotic analysis. The influences of nonhomogeneity on the higher order terms of the stress fields are explicitly brought out. Using these stress components, isochromatic fringes around the stationary crack are generated at crack for different nonhomogeneity and the effects of nohonhomgeneity on these fringes are discussed.

Practical structures are subject not only to tension but also to shear and torsional loading. Even under uniaxial loading, when the load is not perpendicular to the crack plane, mixed mode crack can occur. Hence, it is necessary to evaluate the fatigue behavior under mixed mode loading. In this study, the propagation behavior of the fatigue crack of the STS304 steels under mixed mode loading condition was investigated. The mode I and II stress intensity factors of CTS specimen were calculated using elastic finite element method with experimental results. The fatigue crack propagation under mixed mode was evaluated by the effective stress intensity factor proposed by Tanaka.

In this study, Fatigue behavior of laser weldment in heterogeneous materials was investigated. Fatigue strength test and fatigue crack propagation test were performed for specimens with laser weldment in heterogeneous materials, and hardness test was performed. From the fatigue strength test. it was observed that the difference of strength between heterogeneous materials had eflect on crack initiation position and fatigue limit. From the fatigue crack propagation test. it was observed that fatigue behavior of laser weldment in heterogeneous materials is different from that in same materials. The difference of strength between heterogeneous materials and laser weldment had effect on fatigue crack propagation rate.

It has been reported that the dynamic stress intensity factor for a propagating crack is increasing or decreasing according to the increasement of the crack propagating velocity. It is confirmed in this study that the increasement or decreasement of stress intensity factor with crack growing velocity is accused by loading condition. When the crack propagates under a constant displacement along upper and lower boundary in finite plate, the dynamic stress intensity factor decreases according to the increasement of the propagating crack velocity. When the crack propagates under a constant stress along upper and lower boundary in finite plate, the dynamic stress intensity factor increases according to the increasement of the propagating crack velocity. The increasement or decreasement of stress intensity factor with crack growing velocity is greater in a fast crack propagation velocity than in a slow one.

In this study, analysis for fatigue crack propagation behavior of interface and aroud interface under rotary bending stress. Though K values are nearly the same in around interface by BEM 2-D, fatigue crack propagated H.A.Z. Around Interface crack propagation speed is m=0.678 in H.A.Z by Paris' law. In this case(friction welded materials: STS304, SM15C), fatigue crack growth is considered SM15C metal microstructure and elastic flow from this result. Result is more metal microstructute dependence than stress dependence by analysis (BEM 3-D, BEM 2-D) and fatigue crack propagation

Mach peening treatment is one of the various kinds of techniques to improve the fatigue properties. The mach peening process gives high-level work hardening and compressive residual stress near the surface layer, improving the fatigue strength. In addition, this treatment reduces slip bands that initiate the fatigue cracks near the surface. During impingement, a plastic indentation surrounded by a plastic zone is formed. Mach peening treatment characteristic is less energy consumption and is an environmental friendly processing methods that is not accompanied by pollution. It is machining process that can prevent fatigue fracture beforehand in structure using already as well as process of production. The test results showed that fatigue crack propagation delay appeared by drilling type 43%, mach peening type 110%.

In this paper, we consider the dynamic electromechanical behavior of an eccentric Yoffe permeable crack in a piezoelectric ceramic strip sandwiched between two elastic materials under the combined anti-plane mechanical shear and in-plane electrical loadings. Fourier transforms are used to reduce the problem to the solution of two pairs of dual integral equations, which are then expressed to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. The initial crack propagation orientation for PZT-5H piezoceramics is predicted by maximum energy release rate criterion.
