Abstract
Two-dimensional dynamic analyses of contact and stress loading problems associated with non-symmetric frictionless rigid indentation and plane crack extension under normal stress are presented. The extension rates of the contact strip/crack surfaces are assumed to be constant and sub-critical. Homogeneous function techniques are used to derive general mathematical solutions which are then fitted to the physical problem by matching the predicted and prescribed displacement/stress distributions on the contact strip/crack surfaces. By studying several examples, it is seen that coupling between inherently symmetric and antisymmetric components of the mathematical solutions complicates this procedure. Moreover, the relation between loading and solution behavior is not always physically obvious, especially with regard to symmetry/antisymmetry.
Zusammenfassung
Es werden zweidimensionale dynamische Analysen von Problemen der Berührungs und Spannungsbeanspruchung in Zusammenhang mit nichtsymetrischer, reibungsloser und formfester Vertiefung und Verlängerung eines Rißes in einer Ebene unter normaler Beanspruchung diskutiert. Die Rate der Verlängerung der Oberfläche der Berührungsbahn oder des Rißes wird als konstant und unterhalb der kritischen Schwelle bleibend angenommen. Die Methoden homogener Funktionen werden benutzt, um generelle mathematische Lüsungen abzuleiten, die dann dem physikalischen Problem durch Angleichen der erwarteten mit den gemessenen Verteilungen der Verschiebung/Beanspruchung an den Flächen der Berührungsbahn odes des Rißes angepaßt werden. Die Untersuchung meherer Beispiele zeigt, daß eine Verbindung zwischen inhärenten symetrischen und anti-symetrischen Bestandteilen der mathematischen Lösungen dieses Verfahren komplizieren. Ferner ist die Beziehung zwischen der Belastung und dem Lösungsausfall physikalisch nicht immer naheliegend, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Symetrie/Antisymetrie.
