Publisher: | Springer | Abstract: | Dynamic crack propagation of mode-II cracks is simulated using bond-based Peridynamic Theory (PD) implemented in finite element analysis software ABAQUS. The specimen is a bonded homogeneous Homalite plate with a pre-notch that is subjected to impact shear loading simulating the experiments of Rosakis et al. (1999). The PD bonds at the bonding interface are utilized with a scalar critical stretch value that corresponds to mode-II fracture toughness of the interface. The crack initiation and propagation are naturally captured in the bond-based PD simulations by modifying the original prototype microelastic brittle law formulation introduced by Silling and Askari (2005). Impact loading is introduced at the specimen as a pulse speed field boundary condition. Using bond-based PD, sub-Rayleigh and intersonic regimes of crack growth are obtained as a function of fracture toughness (G(II)) and impact speed (V-i) values. The intersonic crack growth is discerned from the sub-Rayleigh crack growth by the existence of shear Mach waves in the particle velocity magnitude contours. For critical values of G(II) and V-i, a crack growing at a speed just below the Rayleigh wave speed is observed to transition to an intersonic speed with a Burridge-Andrews mechanism. The sustained intersonic crack tip speed is found to be between 1.57c(S) (c(S) is the shear wave speed) and c(D) (c(D) is the dilatational wave speed). For a reduced impact pulse duration, an intersonic crack is found to approach the theoretical value of 2c(S), which, however is not maintained. The results are in qualitative agreement with the experiments of Rosakis et al. (1999) and previous simulations in the literature. | URI: | https://doi.org/10.1007/s10704-021-00520-3 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11851/6917 |
