Abstract: To simulate Electromagnetic wave propagation in anisotropic media, absorbing boundary conditions are needed to truncate the computation domains. Based on the finite difference time domain method in anisotropic medium, the implementation of the modified nearly perfectly matched layer absorbing boundary conditions for truncating anisotropic medium is presented. By using the partial derivatives of space variables stretched-scheme in the coordinate system, the programming complexity is reduced greatly. According to one dimensional numerical simulation analysis, the modified nearly perfectly matched layer absorbing boundary condition is validated.

Abstract: The problem of a semi-infinite crack in anisotropic medium interacting with a near-tip inclusion is analyzed by the Eshelby equivalent inclusion method. The change of mode I stress intensity factor due to crack-inclusion interaction is evaluated using a novel analytical solution for the model I stress intensity factor at the tip of a semi-infinite crack due to near-tip eigenstrains. Numerical results of the mode I stress intensity factor due to the presence of a near-tip circular inclusion are presented to show the influence of the elastic stiffness of an inclusion on the near-tip elastic field. The present scheme can be applied to calculate the stress intensity at a crack-tip in anisotropic media due to the interaction of inclusions with arbitrary shapes.
