Motivaded by recent theoretical studies the elastodynamic response of an orthotropic material with a semi-infinite line crack, which propagates intersonically, is revisited through an approach which differs from those used in previous studies. The near tip stress and displacement fields are obtained for Mode I and Mode II of steady state crack propagation. The strain energy release rate analysis confirms that the Mode I is physically impossible due to the order of stress singularity, which is larger then one half. For Model II the order of stress is less than one half and it is shown that a steady state intersonic propagation is allowed only for a particular crack tip velocity which is a function of the material orthotropy.

Abstract
Motivaded by recent theoretical studies the elastodynamic response of an orthotropic material with a semi-infinite line crack, which propagates intersonically, is revisited through an approach which differs from those used in previous studies. The near tip stress and displacement fields are obtained for Mode I and Mode II of steady state crack propagation. The strain energy release rate analysis confirms that the Mode I is physically impossible due to the order of stress singularity, which is larger then one half. For Model II the order of stress is less than one half and it is shown that a steady state intersonic propagation is allowed only for a particular crack tip velocity which is a function of the material orthotropy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
