Abstract
The work is devoted to mathematical modeling of the fracture processes in the vicinity of an interface crack in functionally graded/homogeneous bimaterials with internal defects subjected to a thermal flux. A previously obtained solution (Petrova and Schmauder, 2009, 2011) [7,8] is used and supplemented with the additional possibility to take into account the crack closure. The solution is based on the integral equation method and it is assumed that thermal properties of the functionally graded material (FGM) have exponential form. For a special case where an interface crack length is much larger than the internal cracks in the FGM an asymptotic analytical solution of the problem is obtained as series of a small parameter (the ratio between sizes of the internal and interface cracks). Analyses of the effects of the location and orientation of the cracks, the material non-homogeneity parameters and the crack closure effects on the thermal stress intensity factors of the interface crack in FGM/homogeneous bimaterials are performed. Examples of some FGM/homogeneous bimaterial combinations (i.e., metal/metal, ceramic/metal) are discussed.
