Cracking in Brittle Material at Presence of a Dislocation

Abstract:

The present study evaluate the stress field during the cracking caused by applying pressure loading to this ends of material. Our problem formulated by using the brittle material (concrete, ceramic, glass,...) having; elasticity modulus E and Poissons ratio (υ).The fundamental idea of this work rests on the determination of the influence of the dislocation presented near of the main crack on this cracking. This problem can be treated by finite element method while using Software (ABAQUS). One uses a square plate from element fissured at his end (semi-infinite) and a dislocation in the vicinity of the main crack, with various distances between the two cracks (main crack-dislocation), for each distance we have stresses can be found at the end of the main crack. After the determination of these latter, we deduced that the presence of dislocation influences largely on the propagation of cracking by amplification or reduction of this propagation.
