| Abstract |
On the basis of thermodynamics of thermoelastic deformation, an energy-based condition of Griffith type is proposed as a criterion of brittle fracture of solid bodies subjected to single loading. This condition is examined in the case of plane stress (strain) state for two known models of an isolated defect. In the first model, the stresses prescribed on the external (remote) surface of the body with a defect coincide with those in the same body without defects. In the second model, displacements are prescribed on the outer surface of the body with a defect; these displacements correspond to the load applied to the body before the appearance of the defect (crack). In both these models, the crack surfaces are stress-free. It is shown that the first model, in the case of isothermal deformation, leads to the Griffith condition. This implies that the critical tensile stresses have the same absolute values as the critical compressive stresses, which does not agree with experimental data. The second model corresponds to an energy-based condition of Griffith type. From this condition, combined with certain additional assumptions on the crack shape and conditions of isotropy and convexity, we obtain a fracture curve (a macroscopic fracture criterion) in the form of an ellipse in the space of principal stresses and determine the crack orientation. The coefficients of the fracture curve explicitly depend on the elastic constants, the temperature, the linear heat expansion coefficient, and the crack size. |
