5.2 Fracture Mechanics
Fracture mechanics is a field of solid mechanics that deals with the mechanical behaviour
of cracked bodies. Based on behaviour of Materials, fracture mechanics is classified as
Figure 5.2.1 Classification of fracture mechanics
5.2,1 Linear Elastic Fracture mechanics
The analysis of Linear Elastic Materials is known as Linear Elastic Fracture mechanics. The
assumptions in Lefm are
Material is brittle in nature, i.e., there is no plasticity in the material The thickness of specimen for theory is unity The concept of Griffith, Inglis, Irwin, etc. are valid for the material
5.2.1.1 Crack deformation modes
Consider a plane crack extending through the thickness of a flat plate. Let the crack plane occupiesthe plane xz and the crack front is parallel to the z-axis. Place the origin of the system Oxyz at the
midpoint of the crack front. There are three independent kinematic movements of the upper and
lower crack surfaces with respect to each other. These three basic modes of deformation are
illustrated in Figure 2, which presents the displacements of the crack surfaces of a local element
containing the crack front. Any deformation of the crack surfaces can be viewed as a superposition
of these basic deformation modes, which are defined as follows:
(a) Opening mode, I. The crack surfaces separate symmetrically with respect to the planes xy and
xz.
(b) Sliding mode, II The crack surfaces slide relative to each other symmetrically with respect to the
plane xy and skew-symmetrically with respect to the plane xz.
(c) Tearing mode, III. The crack surfaces slide relative to each other skew-symmetrically withrespect to both planes xy and xz.

(a) Opening mode, I,
(b) Sliding mode, II, and(c) Tearing (or antiplane) mode, III.
The stress and deformation fields associated with each of these three deformations modes will be
determined in the sequel for the cases of plane strain and generalized plane stress. A body is said to
be in a state of plane strain parallel to the plane xy if
( ) ( ) [5.2.1]where u, v and w denote the displacement components along the axes x, y and z. Thus, the strainsand stresses depend only on the variables x and y. Plane strain conditions are realized in long
cylindrical bodies which are subjected to loads normal to the cylinder axis and uniform in the z-
direction. In crack problems, plane strain conditions are approximated in plates with large thickness
relative to the crack length. A generalized plane stress state parallel to the xy plane is defined by
( ) ( ) () [5.2.2]where , , , and , denote the normal and shear stresses associated with the systemxyz. Generalized plane stress conditions are realized in thin flat plates with traction-free surfaces. In
crack problems, the generalized plane stress conditions are approximated in plates with crack
lengths that are large in relation to the plate thickness. We recall from the theory of elasticity that a
plane strain problem may be solved as a generalized plane stress problem by replacing the value of
Poisson's ratio v by the value v / (1+v).
5.2.1.2Westergaard method
5.2.1.2(a) Description of the method
The Westergaard semi-inverse method constitutes a simple and versatile tool for solving a certain
class of plane elasticity problems. It uses the Airy stress function representation, in which the
solution of a plane elasticity problem is reduced to finding a function U which satisfies thebiharmonic equation,

The stress components are given by
[5.2.4]
If we choose the function U in the form
[5.2.5]where the functions
(i = 1,2,3) are harmonic, that is,
[5.2.6]U will automatically satisfy Equation (3).
Following the Cauchy-Riemann conditions for an analytic function of the form

; [5.2.8]and, therefore,
[5.2.9]Thus, the functions (i = 1,2,3) in Equation [5.2.5] can be considered as the realor imaginary part of an analytic function of the complex variable z.
Introducing the notation

5.2.1.3 Singular stress and displacement fields
The study of stress and displacement fields near the crack tip is very important, because these fields
govern the fracture process that takes place at the crack tip.

5.2.1.3(a) Opening mode
The Westergaard function for an infinite plate with a crack of length 2a subjected to equal stresses
at infinity (Fig.3) is given by Equation [5.2.19]. If we place the origin of the coordinate system atthe crack tip z = a through the transformation
[5.2.22]Equation [5.2.19] takes the form

The quantity KI is the opening-mode stress intensity factor and expresses the strength of the
singular elastic stress field. As was shown by Irwin , Equation [5.2.28] applies to all crack-tip stressfields independently of cracked body geometry and the loading conditions. The stress intensity

factor depends linearly on the applied load and is a function of the cracked length and the
geometrical configuration of the cracked body. Introducing the value of the Westergaard function ZI
from Equation [5.2.25] into Equations [5.2.13] we obtain the displacements

5.2.1.3(b) Sliding mode
The Westergaard function ZII for a crack of length 2a in an infinite plate subjected to uniform in-
plane shear stress rat infinity (Fig.4) is given by Equation [5.2.21]. The stresses and displacements
are obtained from Equations [5.2.15] and [5.2.16]. Following the same procedure as in the previous
case, and recognizing the general applicability of the singular solution for all sliding-mode crack
problems, we obtain the following equations for the stresses and displacements

Substituting Equation [5.2.38] into the non-self-satisfied equilibrium equation

We obtain for w

Consider a crack of length 2a which occupies the segmenta x a along the x-axis in an infinite
plate subjected to uniform out-of-plane shear stress T at infinity. The boundary conditions of the
problem may be stated as

the function defined by

[5.2.47]In cases where two or all three deformation modes exist in a crack problem, the singular elastic
stress field in the neighbourhood of the crack tip is obtained by superimposing the solutions
corresponding to each of the three deformation modes and it is characterized by the respective stressintensity factors.
5.2.2 Crack tip Plastic zone
Figure 5.2.6 showing the crack tip plastic zone and Graph of stress vs. r showing crack tip plastic zone
As r= 0 (i.e., at the crack tip) yy approaches infinity. However, in practice, the stress at the crack
tip is limited to at least the yield strength of the material, and hence linear elasticity cannot be
assumed within a certain distance of the crack tip . This nonlinear region is sometimes called the
crack tip plastic zone8. Outside the plastic zone, displacements under the externally applied stress
mostly follow Hookes law, and the equations of linear elasticity apply. The elastic material outsidethe plastic zone transmits stress to the material inside the zone, where nonlinear events occur that
may preclude the stress field from being determined exactly. The strain energy release rate is not
influenced much by events within the plastic zone if the plastic zone is relatively small. It can be
shown that an approximate size of the plastic zone is given by:
[5.2.48]
where ys is the yield strength (or yield stress) of the material. The concept of a plastic zone in the
vicinity of the crack tip is one favoured by many engineers and materials scientists and has useful
implications for fracture in metals. However, the existence of a crack tip plastic zone in brittlesolids appears to be objectionable on physical grounds.

Summary:-
The specimen used for compact tension test to determine fracture thoughness is separated into two
parts. The fracture is then studied by using Infinite Focus Microscope (IFM) and Scanning Electron
Microscope (SEM). IFM has vertical resolution of 20 nm and SEM has both horizontal and vertical
resolution of 1 to 5 nm. Using both the instruments the crack initiation zone ,i.e., crack tip plastic
zone is measured to be 17 nm.
Such experiments by others using different instruments had the range of crack tip plastic zone 10 to
15 nm. As this experimentation results closer to results of previous experimentation, this
experiment is successfully carried out. And this is verified by the patterns of rivers lines and feather
marks are obtained which is characteristic property of Linear Elastic Material.

Summary:-
In this paper, simulation analysis on concrete pipe is done. Software used for simulation is
ABAQUS. The pattern of deflection in all three directions and corresponding stresses and moments
is simulated and solution for various geometric variations is observed.
As thickness increases the deflection, stress and moments decreases for same span length.
For different geometric parameters, the deflection, stresses and moments at crown and free edge are
opposite in sense.
