Friction welding has may merits such as energy efficiency, simple processing, etc. but it is difficult to obtain good welding at the welded interfaces and heat affected zone. It is discovered that stress singularity exists at the interferes and heat affected zone. The computer program based on boundary element method is utilized in this study. A mathematical model is implemented based on results from several experiments performed at and around the welded interfaces and heat affected zone of disimilar metals under static and dynamic loadings. This stay is to investigate the characteristics of the deformation and fracture behavior around interfaces for friction welded materials under static tensile load. Also, the stress distribution at the tip of crack is analyzed by using BU based on Kelvin's solution of 2-dimensional binding zone. The results of BEM are identical with those in case of considering interfaces of both heat affected zone. Also, stress singularity at the tip of interfaces appears when the elastic modulus ratio is 1.07.

This paper presents a method for predicting premature separation of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) plates from strengthened steel beams. The fracture criterion based on material-induced singularity is formulated in terms of a singular intensity factor. Static test on double strap joints was selected to provide the critical stress intensity factor in the criterion because good degree of accuracy and consistency of experimental data can be expected compared with the unsymmetrically loaded single lap joints. The debond/separation loads of steel beams with different CFRP lengths were measured and compared with those predicted from the criterion. Good agreement between the test results and the prediction was found.

The stress state developed in a thin adhesive layer bonded between the semiconductor chip and the leadframe and subjected to a shear loading is investigated. The boundary element method (BEM) is employed to investigate the behavior of interface stresses. Within the context of a linear elastic theory, a stress singularity of type $\gamma^{\lambda=1}$(0<1<1) exists at the point where the interface between one of the rigid adherends and the adhesive layer intersects the free surface. Such singularity might lead to edge crack or delamination.

The near-tip field of mode-I dynamic cracks steadily propagating in a strain softening material is investigated under plane strain conditions. The material is assumed to be incompressible and its deformation obeys the $J_2$ flow theory of plasticity. A power-law stress-strain relation with strain softening is adopted to account for the damage behavior of materials near the dynamic crack tip. By assuming that the stresses and strain have the same singularity at the crack tip. this paper obtains a fully continuous dynamic crack-tip field in the damage region. Results show that the stress and strain components the same logarithmic singularity of (In(R/r))$\delta$, and the angular variations of filed quantities are identical to those corresponding to the dynamic cracks in the elastic-perfectly plastic material.

This paper deals with residual stresses induced at the viscoelastic adhesive layer between the semiconductor chip and the leadframe during adhesion process. The adhesive layer has been assumed to be“thermorheologically simple”. The time-domain boundary element method(BEM) has been employed to investigate the behavior of interface stresses. Numerical results show that very large stress gradients are present at the interface corner and such singularity might lead to local yielding or edge delamination.

Composite materials are generally treated as anisotropic or an orthotropic materials. Unlike isotropic materials, the orthotropic materials can divided three groups depending upon the relationship of the four material constants or depending upon the characteristic roots of orthotropic materials. In particular, the fundamental solutions of two dimensional BEM for composite materials (orthotropic or anisotropic material) generally have a singularity in the conventional method when the characteristic roots are equal. In consideration of this singularity in the conventional method when the characteristic roots are equal. In consideration of this singular problems, in this paper, the fundamental solutions of BEM are systematically analysed for orthotropic materials. And the stress and displacement fields for a crack in an orthotropic materials are singular when the characteristic roots of orthotropic materials are equal. Therefore, these fields for a crack in an orthotropic materials are analysed by the analogous method to isotropic materials when the characteristic roots are equal.

This paper employed a systematic analysis using a 2-D hybrid special finite element containing an edge crack in order to describe the fracture behavior of spot-welds in automotive structures. The 2-D hybrid special finite element is derived form a mixed formulation with a complex potential function with the description of the singularity of a stress field. The hybrid special finite element containing an edge crack can give a better description of its singularity with only one hybrid element surrounding one crack. The advantage of this special element is that it can greatly simplify the numerical modeling of the spot welds. Some numerical examples demonstrate the validity and versatility of the present analysis method. The lap-shear, lap-tension and angle-clip specimens are analyzed and some useful fracture parameters such as the stress intensity factor and the initial direction of crack growth are obtained simultaneously.

The residual thermal stresses at the interface corner between the elastic fiber and the viscoelastic matrix of a two-dimensional unidirectional laminate due to cooling from cure temperature down to room temperature were studied. The matrix material was assumed to be thermorheologically simple. The time-domain boundary element method was employed to investigate the nature of stresses on the interface. Numerical results show that very large stress gradients are present at the interface corner and this stress singularity might lead to local yielding or fiber-matrix debonding.
