Abstract
A mathematical formulation is presented for the dynamic stress intensity factor (mode I) of a permeable penny-shaped crack subjected to a time-harmonic propagating longitudinal wave in an infinite poroelastic solid. In particular, the effect of the wave-induced fluid flow on the dynamic stress intensity factor is analyzed. The Hankel integral transform technique in conjunction with Helmholtz potential theory is used to formulate the mixed boundary-value problem as dual integral equations in the frequency domain. Using appropriate transforms, the dual integral equations can be reduced to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. The phenomenon of fluid flow along the crack surface has significant influences upon the frequency-dependent behavior of the dynamic stress intensity factor. The stress intensity factor monotonically decreases with increasing frequency, declining the fastest when the crack radius and the slow wave wavelength are of the same order. Such near-field information is of particular importance in predicting the crack strength subjected to oscillating loads. The characteristic frequency at which the stress intensity factor decays the fastest shifts to higher frequency values when the crack radius decreases.
