Compact closed form solution of the incremental plane states in a pre‐stressed elastic composite with an elliptical hole

Abstract

We consider an unbounded, homogeneous, pre-stressed orthotropic elastic composite containing an elliptical hole and subject to uniform remote tensile and uniform remote tangential shear loads (Mode I and respectively Mode II of fracture). Using the conformal mapping technique and the representation of the stress and displacement fields by complex potentials, we determine the solution of the problem in a compact and elementary form. When the smaller semiaxis of the elliptical hole tends to zero, i.e. the hole becomes a crack, the potentials obtained reduce to a form similar to that of the crack problem, obtained by solving the corresponding Riemann-Hilbert problem.

Optimum Design of Infinite Perforated Orthotropic and Isotropic Plates

“…Complex potential method established by G.V. Kolosov and N.I Muskhelishvili (see, e.g., [6][7][8]) has been applied for anisotropic plates by Green and Zerna [7], Lekhniskii [9], Sih et al [10], Lekhniskii [11], Bigoni and Movchan [12], Radi et al [13], Craciun and Soós [14], Craciun and Barbu [15], and Chaleshtari and Jafari [16]. Tsutsumi et al [17] investigated the solution of a semi-infinite plane with one circular hole.…”

“…Then, the interest in these theories has grown enormously, as evidenced by a huge number of studies published in this context. Here we list a few of them, such as [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

Dynamic non‐local theory stress analysis of two equal and collinear mode‐I cracks in the orthotropic medium

“…In particular, many fiber‐reinforced composites, ceramics, as well as bone are orthotropic materials. Due to the property of composite materials has generally orthotropic, the fracture behaviors of crack in orthotropic medium have attracted much research attention . For example, Vafa and Fariborz studied transient analysis of multiply interacting cracks in orthotropic layers.…”

“…Due to the property of composite materials has generally orthotropic, the fracture behaviors of crack in orthotropic medium have attracted much research attention. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] For example, Vafa and Fariborz [1] studied transient analysis of multiply interacting cracks in orthotropic layers. Guo et al [2] developed the dynamic response of a functionally graded orthotropic strip with an edge crack perpendicular.…”
