Three-Dimensional Viscoelastic Interactions of a Center of Dilatation with a Penny-Shaped Interfacial Crack

Abstract:

This paper presents a three-dimensional viscoelastic model to study the interactions of a penny-shaped interfacial crack and a center of dilatation in the infinite viscoelastic bimaterial, which can model the rock fracture subjected to stress and thermal dilatation during some engineering process. A distinct issue associated with the present work is the incorporation of viscoelastic behavior of bimaterial. The proposed problem is first transformed into the Laplace space, and the solution in the transform space is obtained by decomposing the original problem into two auxiliary problems: (I) a center of dilatation near a bimaterial interface (no crack); and (II) a penny-shaped interfacial crack subject to internal tractions that cancel out those induced in auxiliary problem (I). The mode I, II and III stress intensity factors (SIFs) in the time domain are obtained with the inverse Laplace transform.
