TLDR
In this paper, a quasi-static deformation and fracture analysis for nonlinear viscoelastic media and sample applications are given. But the authors focus on predicting mechanical work available at the crack tip for initiation and continuation of growth.Abstract:
Methods of quasi-static deformation and fracture analysis are developed for a class of nonlinear viscoelastic media and sample applications are given. Selection of the class of media is guided by actual rheological behavior of monolithic and composite materials as well as the need for simplicity to be able to understand the effect of primary material and continuum parameters on crack growth behavior. First, pertinent aspects of J integral and energy release rate theory for nonlinear elastic media are discussed. Nonlinear viscoelastic constitutive equations are then given, and correspondence principles which establish a simple relationship between mechanical states of elastic and viscoelastic media are developed. These principles provide the basis for the subsequent extension of J integral theory to crack growth in viscoelastic materials. Emphasis is on predicting mechanical work available at the crack tip for initiation and continuation of growth; some examples show how viscoelastic properties and the J integral affect growth behavior. Included is the problem of a crack in a thin layer having different viscoelastic properties than the surrounding continuum. The Appendix gives an apparently new constitutive theory for elastic and viscoelastic materials with changing microstructure (e.g. distributed damage) and indicates the conditions under which the fracture theory in the body of the paper is applicable.read more

Steady-state dynamic method: An efficient and effective way to predict dynamic modulus of asphalt concrete
TL;DR: In this article, two meso-mechanical methods of analyzing the asphalt concrete's dynamic modulus, including the transient dynamic method (implicit dynamic method) based on modified Newmark numerical differential algorithm and the steady-state dynamic method based on the perturbation theory, were presented.

Finite element modelling of crack tip behaviour in viscoelastic materials. Part I: Linear behaviour
TL;DR: In this article, a finite element algorithm is used to model either linear or non-linear viscoelastic material behaviour, and the algorithm is verified for the linear case by comparing numerical and analytical solutions for (a) a uniaxial tensile specimen, and (b) an infinite plate with a hole subjected to a remote nonlinear stress.

Finite-Element Analysis of Adhesive Joints
J. N. Reddy,Samit Roy +1 more
TL;DR: Adhesive bonding is increasingly used to fasten metallic to metallic or metallic to composite structural components together as mentioned in this paper, which is because in many present-day applications, conventional fasteners such as bolts, rivets, welds, etc., are unsuitable, especially if the components are made of polymeric or composite materials.

On a class of conservation laws in linearized and finite elastostatics
James K. Knowles,Eli Sternberg +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, ESHELBY deduced a surface-integral representation for the force on an elastic singularity or inhomogeneity, which gives rise to a conservation law for regular elastostatic fields appropriate to homogeneous but not necessarily isotropic solids in the presence of infinitesimal deformations.
