Matrix form near tip solutions of interface corners

摘要

In this paper, the stresses near the tip of interface corners are expressed in matrix power function form. To make this matrix power function form valid for all possible cases of interface corners, all kinds of singularities including oscillatory and logarithmic singularity are discussed in this paper. The coefficient vector of this matrix power function form solution is then defined as a vector of stress intensity factors along the radial direction. Since the stress intensity factors are functions of radial direction, the maximum stress intensity factor of a certain radial direction may be useful for the fracture prediction of interface corners. This new definition of stress intensity factors is applicable for all possible singular orders-repeated or distinct, real or complex, and keeps the same unit for all possible interface corners. Therefore, it will be helpful for bridging the problems of cracks, corners, interface cracks and interface corners. Finally, the matrix form solutions are reduced to the scalar form solutions for two special cases. One is a special case of corner angles-cracks, and the other is a special case of anisotropic materials-isotropic materials. Through this reduction, new scalar form analytical solutions are obtained and specialized further to compare with the existing analytical solutions.
