Abstract: This paper provides asymptotic full crack-tip stress field solutions for an in-plane mixed-mode stationary crack in an anisotropic functionally graded material. A monoclinic graded material that ...

Abstract: The interaction integral method that is equipped with the nonequilibrium formulation is generalized to evaluate the nonsingular T-stress as well as mixed-mode stress intensity factors in orthotropic ...

Abstract: This paper provides full asymptotic crack-tip field solutions for an antiplane (mode-III) stationary crack in a functionally graded material. We use the complex variable approach and an asymptotic ...

Abstract: The interaction integral method provides a unified framework for evaluating fracture parameters (e.g., stress intensity factors and T stress) in functionally graded materials. The method is based ...

Abstract: Graded finite elements are presented within the framework of a generalized isoparametric formulation. Such elements possess a spatially varying material property field, e.g. Young’s modulus (E) ...
