A generalized elastic solution for a transient mode III crack propagating along the gradient in functionally graded materials (FGMs) is obtained through an asymptotic analysis. The shear modulus and density of the FGMs are assumed to vary exponentially along the gradient. The stress and displacement fields near the crack tip are obtained in terms of powers of radial coordinates, and the coefficients depend on the time rates of the change of the crack tip speed and stress intensity factors. The influence of nonhomogeneity and transients on the higher order terms of the stress and displacement fields is discussed.

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.

덕트유동에서 재료입자의 변형은 그 입자의 초기위치와 방향에 의존한다. 이러한 변 형과정을 이해하기 위하여 변형구배텐서를 덕트 전단면에 걸쳐 초기위치와 시간의 함수로 계산할수 있어야한다. 따라서 본 논문은 입자궤적 궤도에 접하는 직교좌표계를 선택하여 3 차원 덕트유동에서의 변형구배텐서를 덕트 전단면에 걸처 초기위치와 시간의 함수로 계산할 수 있어야한다. 따라서 본 논문은 입자궤적 궤도에 접하는 직교좌표계를 선택하여 3차원 덕 트 유동에서의 변형구배텐서를 효과적으로 계산할수 있는 간단한 방법을 제안한다. 이러한 특수 좌표계로부터 구해진 변형구배텐서가 덕트유동에서의 변형척도를 이해하는데에 매우 중요함을 알수 있었다.

Stress and displacement fields of a propagating Mode III crack in an orthotropic functionally gradient material (OFGM), which has (1) linear variation of shear modulus with a constant density, and (2) an exponential variation of shear modulus and density, are derived. The equations of motion in OFGM are developed and solution to the displacement and stress fields fer a propagating crack at constant speed though an asymptotic analysis. The stress terms associated with $\gamma^{-1/2}\;and\;\gamma^{0}$ are not affected by the FGM constant $\zeta$ which is nonhomogeneous parameter, only on the higher order terms, the influences of nonhomogeneity on the stress are explicitly brought out. When the FGM constant $\zeta\;is\;zero\;or\;\gamma{\rightarrow}0$, the fields for OFGM are almost same as the those for homogeneous orthotropic material. Using the stress components, the effects of nonhomogeneity on stress components are discussed.

Stress and displacement fields for a crack propagating along interface between isotropic material and functionally gradient one with linear property gradation along X direction are developed. The stress and displacement fields are obtained from the complex function of steady plane motion for isotropic and functionally gradient material (FGM). The stresses and displacement in isotropic material of bimaterial are not influenced by nonhomogeneity, however, the fields in FCM are influenced by nonhomogeneity in the terms of higher order, n$\geq$3. When the nonhomogeneous parameter in FGM is zero, or in area close to crack tip, the fields are identical to those of isotropic-isotropic bimaterial. Using these stress components, the effects of nonhomogeneity on stresses are discussed.

Stress and displacement fields for a propagating crack in a functionally gradient material (FGM) which has shear modulus as $\mu$=$\mu$$\_$0/(1＋ζX) are derived. The equations of motion in FGM which is nonhomogeneous material are different from those of homogeneous material. The stress intensity factors in stress fields have influence on odd terms of γ$\^$n/2-1/(n=1,3,5,...,) but stress at crack tip only retains term of γ$\^$-1/2/, where the γ is a radius of cylindrical coordinates centered at crack tip. When the FGM constant ζ is zero or γ→0, the fields for FGM are almost same as the those for isotropic material.

This paper suggested the method determing the stress intensity factor (SIF) for functionally gradient materials (FGMs) by photo elastic experimental method. The SIF for the center crack in a finite rectangulat plate with a linear variation of shear modulus with constant density and Poisson's ratio along the direction of the crack under mode I static loading is obtained. The exponential and linear variation of stress fields are used for obtaining the SIF. The greater crack length, the increaser the difference of the SIF between right and left side crack tip.

To evaluate a property of moisture distribution and volumetric water content on bentonite media the responses of complex dielectric constant were used which are measured by Frequency Domain Reflectometry with Vector Network Analyzer (FDR-V) system. The bentonite is widely used a barrier liner system in the waste disposal site, recently. In case of barrier liner system, generally, the coefficient of permeability should have to less than 10-7cm/sec. According to the results, the complex dielectric constants are increasing with increase the volumetric water content and temperature together. Also the variation of complex dielectric constant due to temperature gradient is confirmed that the moisture movements are increasing with the variations of temperature from high range to low range, which is represented the property of moisture distribution in the bentonite.

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.

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.
