Abstract

Keywords: 3D interface crack Boundary element method Fully coupled electromagnetothermoelastic anisotropic multiphase composites Hypersingular intergro-differential equation method Extended stress intensity factors a b s t r a c t This contribution presents an extended hypersingular intergro-differential equation (E-HIDE) method for modeling the 3D interface crack problem in fully coupled electromagnetothermoelastic anisotropic mul-tiphase composites under extended electro-magneto-thermo-elastic coupled loads through theoretical analysis and numerical simulations. First, based on the extended boundary element method, the 3D inter-face crack problem is reduced to solving a set of E-HIDEs coupled with extended boundary integral equa-tions, in which the unknown functions are the extended displacement discontinuities. Then, the behavior of the extended singular stress indices around the interface crack front terminating at the interface is analyzed by the extended main-part analysis. The extended stress intensity factors near the crack front are defined. In addition, a numerical method for a 3D interface crack problem subjected to extended loads is proposed, in which the extended displacement discontinuities are approximated by the product of basic density functions and polynomials. Finally, the radiation distribution of extended stress intensity factors at the interface crack surface are calculated, and the results are presented toward demonstrating the applicability of the proposed method.
