Many laboratory experiments on crack propagation under uniaxial loading and biaxial loading have been conducted in the past using transparent materials such as resin, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), etc. However, propagation behaviors of three-dimensional (3D) cracks in rock or rock-like materials under tri-axial loading are often considerably different. In this study, a series of true tri-axial loading tests on the rock-like material with two semi-ellipse pre-existing cracks were performed in laboratory to investigate the acoustic emission (AE) characteristics and propagation characteristics of 3D crack groups influenced by intermediate principal stress. Compared with previous experiments under uniaxial loading and biaxial loading, the tests under true tri-axial loading showed that shear cracks, anti-wing cracks and secondary cracks were the main failure mechanisms, and the initiation and propagation of tensile cracks were limited. Shear cracks propagated in the direction parallel to pre-existing crack plane. With the increase of intermediate principal stress, the critical stress of crack initiation increased gradually, and secondary shear cracks may no longer coalesce in the rock bridge. Crack aperture decreased with the increase of intermediate principal stress, and the failure is dominated by shear fracturing. There are two stages of fracture development: stable propagation stage and unstable failure stage. The AE events occurred in a zone parallel to pre-existing crack plane, and the AE zone increased gradually with the increase of intermediate principal stress, eventually forming obvious shear rupture planes. This shows that shear cracks initiated and propagated in the pre-existing crack direction, forming a shear rupture plane inside the specimens. The paths of fracturing inside the specimens were observed using the Computerized Tomography (CT) scanning and reconstruction.

Using the theory of linear piezoelectricity, the problem of two layered strip with a piezoelectric ceramic bonded to an elastic material containing a finite interface crack is considered. The out-of-plane mechanical and in-plane electrical loadings are simultaneously applied to the strip. Fourier transforms are used to reduce the problem to a pair of dual integral equations, which is then expressed in terms of a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. The stress intensity factor is determined, and numerical analyses for several materials are performed and discussed.

In this paper, we examine the dynamic electromechanical behavior of an edge crack in a piezoelectric ceramic layer bonded between two elastic layers under the combined anti-plane mechanical shear and in-plane electric transient loadings. We adopted both the permeable and impermeable crack boundary conditions. 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. Numerical values on the dynamic energy release rate are presented to show the dependences upon the geometry, material combination, electromechanical coupling coefficient and electric field.

가정 변형률 9절점 쉘 요소를 이용하여 스티프너로 보강된 적층 복합 보강판의 진동 특성을 연구하였다. 기존의 연구결과들과 비교하기 위하여 대칭으로 적층된 carbon-epoxy 복합재료 적층 판을 사용하였다. 또한 본 연구에서 스티프너를 쉘로 모델링 한 결과들은 보 요소로 모델링 된 결과들과 비교하였다. 비틀림에 약한 스티프너의 경우에 국부 좌굴이 스티프너에서 발생할 수 있다. 이 경우에 스티프너는 쉘로 모델링 하여야 한다. 본 연구는 면내 압축 및 전단하중을 받는 적층 복합 보강 판과 보강되지 않은 적층 복합 판의 연구에 집중되어 있다. 면내 압축 및 전단하중은 적층복합 판의 고유진동수와 진동 모우드를 변화시키고 압축 하중의 증가는 압축 하중이 임계 좌굴하중에 도달하여 진동수가 0 이 될 때 까지 진동수를 감소시킨다. 면내 전단하중의 작용은 그렇지 않은 경우에 비하여 진동수를 증가시켰다. 또한 진동수와 면내 하중 관계 곡선의 교차는 적층 복합 보강판의 진동 모우드를 교체 시킨다. 본 연구에서 제시한 쉘 요소로 적층 복합 보강판을 해석한 결과 참고문헌과 비교하여 매우 정확한 결과를 나타내었다. 그러므로 보강된 적층 복합 판의 면내 전단 및 압축하중의 종류와 크기는 특정한 진동수와 모우드 형상의 조절을 위해 적절하게 선택되어야 한다. 고유치 문제를 풀기 위하여 Lanzcos 방법을 사용하였다.

Residual shear strength should be taken into consideration as well as peak one when analysing stability of slopes constituted by weathered rock or overconsolidated soils since such materials could be subjected to progressive failure mechanism. When landslide of a slope is related to progressive failure phenomenon, the failure might occur even though shear strength of the slope materials does not reach their residual shear strength over the whole slip surface. Therefore, stability of the slope concerned may be overstimated or underestimated when using only its peak or residual shear srength parameters. Mechanical description for progressive failure phenomenon is given by Bjerrum(1967). In parameters. Mechanical description for progressive failure phenomenon is given by Bjerrum(1967). In this study, his theory has been extended to estimate the distance of failed zone for a plane slope and the results calculated by this extended equatio has been compared with that obtained by numerical modelling using FLAC. In addition, stress state on the slip surface has been, in detail, analysed to understand failure mechanism when a limited progressive failure occurs. Effects of mechanical and hydraulic factors on progressive failure have also been analysed.

Multiaxial loading by combinations of tension-torsion-internal pressure have been applied to the thins-walled tubular specimens prepared from cold drawn tubes of SAE 1020 steel. Prior to the multiaxial loading, each specimen has been twisted to different shear strains. Uniaxial tensile yield stresses measured at different angles to the tube axis clearly show that the initial orthotropic symmetry is maintained during twisting. The orthotropy axes are observed to rotate with shear strains. The plane stress yield locus measured for each twisted specimens show that yield surface shape does not remain similar during twisting and thus anisotropic work hardening is not a function of only plastic work.

The dynamic response of symmetric cross-ply and angle-ply composite laminated plates under impact loads is investigated using a higher order shear deformation theory. A modified Hertz law is used to predict the impact loads and a four node finite element is used to model the plate. By using a higer order shear deformation theory, the out-of-plane shear stresses, which can be a crucial factor in the failure of composite plates, are determined with significant accuracy. This is accomplished by using a stress recovery technique using the in-plane stresses. The results compared with previous investigations showed good agreement. It can be seen that this method of analyzing impact problems is more efficient than current three dimensional methods in terms of time and expense.

The paper presents results of FE-calculations on shear localizations in quasi-brittle materials during both an uniaxial plane strain compression and uniaxial plane strain extension. An elasto-plastic model with a linear Drucker-Prager type criterion using isotropic hardening and softening and non-associated flow rule was used. A non-local extension was applied in a softening regime to capture realistically shear localization and to obtain a well-posed boundary value problem. A characteristic length was incorporated via a weighting function. Attention was focused on the effect of mesh size, mesh alignment, non-local parameter and imperfections on the thickness and inclination of shear localization. Different methods to calculate plastic strain rates were carefully discussed.

Consistent finite strain Plate constitutive relations are derived based on a hyperelastic formulation for an isotropic material. Plate equilibrium equations under finite strain are derived following a static kinematic approach. Three Euler angles and four shear angles, based on Timoshenko beam theory, represent the kinematics of the deformations in the plate cross section. The Green deformation tensor has been expressed in term of a deformation tensor associated with the deformation and stretches of an embedded plate element. Buckling formulation includes the in-plane axial deformation prior to buckling and transverse as well as in-plane shear deformations. Numerical results for a simply supported thick plate under uni-axial compression force are presented.

In this paper a simple finite element is proposed for analyzing out of plane vibration of thin walled curved beams, with both open and closed sections, considering shear flexibility. The present element is obtained from a variational formulation governing the dynamics of a three-dimensional elastic body in which the stress tensor as well as the displacements are variationally independent. The element has two nodes with four degrees of freedom in each. Numerical examples for the first six frequencies are performed in order to assess the accuracy of the finite element formulation and to show the influence of the shear flexibility on the dynamics of the member.
