The stress and displacement fields of a permeable propagating crack in orthotropic piezoelectric materials under anti-plane shear mechanical load and in-plane electric load are analyzed. The equations of motion for the propagating crack in piezoelectric materials are developed and the solution on the stress and the displacement fields through an asymptotic analysis was obtained. The influences of the piezoelectric constant and of the dielectric permittivity on the stress and displacement fields at the crack tip are explicitly clarified. Using the stress and displacement fields obtained in this study, the characteristics of stress and displacement at a propagating crack tip in piezoelectric materials are discussed.

An unsteadily propagating permeable crack in piezoelectric materials (PMs) under anti-plane shear mechanical loading and in-plane electric loading is studied. The equilibrium equations for a transiently propagating crack in a PM are developed, and the solutions on the stress and displacement fields for a permeable crack though an asymptotic analysis are obtained. The influences of piezoelectric constant, dielectric permittivity, time rate of change of the crack tip speed and time rate of change of stress intensity factor on the stress and displacement fields at the transiently propagating crack tip are explicitly clarified. By using the stress and displacements, the characteristics of the stress and displacement at a transiently propagating crack tip in a PM are discussed.

변위형 유한요소해에 기초하고 공액근사개념 및 Loubignac의 변위장 개선방법을 국부영역에 적용하여 국부영역에서의 응력장의 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법에서 계산된 국부영역의 응력장은 전체영역에 대한 응력장 개선 결과에 근접하며 유한요소 평형방정식을 잘 만족하친 있을 뿐만 아니라 수회 이내의 반복계산내에 수렴하고 있어서 계산시간이 크게 줄어들 수 있어서 국부영역에 대한 상세응력해석에 적절하게 이용될 수 있다.

The influences of density variation on stress and displacement fields at a propagating Mode-III crack tip in orthotropic functionally graded materials (OFGMs) are studied. The crack propagates dynamically at a right angle to the gradient of physical properties. Three kinds of elasticity and density gradients are analyzed in this study. They are as follows: (1) the density varies without elasticity variation, (2) the directions of the density and elasticity gradients are opposite to each other, and (3) same. For these cases, the stress and displacement fields at the crack tip are developed and the dynamic stress intensity factors for propagating cracks are also studied. When the crack speed is low, the influence of density variation on the stresses and displacement is low. However, when the crack speed is high, this influence is very high.

The stress and displacement fields at the crack tip were studied during the unsteady propagation of a mode III crack in a direction that was different from the property graduation direction in functionally graded materials (FGMs). The property graduation in FGMs was assumed based on the linearly varying shear modulus under a constant density and the exponentially varying shear modulus and density. To obtain the solution of the harmonic function, the general partial differential equation of the dynamic equilibrium equation was transformed into a Laplace equation. Based on the Laplace equation, the stress and displacement fields, which depended on the time rates of change in the crack tip speed and stress intensity factor, were obtained through an asymptotic analysis. Using the stress and displacement fields, the effects of the angled property variation on the stresses, displacements, and stress intensity factors are discussed.

In this study, the fracture energy and displacement fields characteristics of particulate reinforced composite is evaluated. Wedge splitting test was performed at various temperatures. Fracture energy of material is calculated at room temperature, $-40^{\circ}C$ and $-60^{\circ}C$. Displacement and strain fields of specimen surface were visualized by using digital image correlation. The surface displacement fields of the specimens were analyzed by mark tracking method using digital image correlation. The results showed that, the fracture energy was decreased as temperature decreased. The surface displacement fields at room temperature were similar to there at $-40^{\circ}C$. The surface displacement fields at $-60^{\circ}C$ was significantly reduced because of the brittle behavior. The strain fields of the specimen surface decreased as temperature decreased form room temperature to $-60^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, new additional nonconforming modes for the improvement of bending behavior in the distorted 8 node hexahedral element and their effective modification method are studied. The rotational degrees of freedom are introduced by using a functional in which the rotations are independent variables. In an element formulation, the same interpolations are used in displacement and rotation fields, but nonconforming modes we applied only in displacement fields. To verify the developed element various numerical tests are carried out and test results show good behavior.

In many part of machines or structures that made of bimaterial bonded with two dissimilar materials, most failures occur at their interface. Therefore, the accurate analysis of fracture characteristics and the evaluation of mechanical strength for interfacial crack are essential when we design those structures. In this research, stress and displacement components in the vicinity of stationary interfacial crack tip in the two dissimilar isotropic bimaterials are established. Hereafter, the stress components established in this research can be applied to the photoelastic hybrid method which can be used to analyze the fracture behavior of the two dissimilar isotropic bimaterials.

In this paper, a stochastic field that is compatible with Monte Carlo simulation is suggested for an expansion-based stochastic analysis scheme of weighted integral method. Through investigation on the way of affection of stochastic field function on the displacement vector in the series expansion scheme, it is noticed that the stochastic field adopted in the weighted integral method is not compatible with that appears in the Monte Carlo simulation. As generally recognized in the field of stochastic mechanics, the response variability is not a linear function of the coefficient of variation of stochastic field but a nonlinear function with increasing variability as the intensity of uncertainty is increased. Employing the stochastic field suggested in this study, the response variability evaluated by means of the weighted integral scheme is reproduced with high precision even for uncertain fields with moderately large coefficient of variation. Besides, despite the fact that only the first-order expansion is employed, an outstanding agreement between the results of expansion-based weighted integral method and Monte Carlo simulation is achieved.
