On debonding and delamination effects in adhesively bonded cracks —A boundary integral approach

SummaryThe present paper studies the influence of adhesives on the behaviour of cracks in two-dimensional linear elastic bodies. Especially the delamination and debonding effects are studied. The adhesive material is assumed to introduce non-monotone, possibly multivalued laws which can be described via non-convex superpotentials. The direct boundary integral equation method is extended for this problem. It gives rise to two equivalent multivalued integral equations holding on each crack. Numerical examples concerning the resulting stress intensity factors illustrate the theory.ÜbersichtIn dieser Arbeit wird der Einfluß von adhäsiven Materialien auf das Verhalten der Risse in zweidimensionalen linear-elastischen Körpern untersucht. Insbesondere werden Delaminations- und Entklebeeffekte behandelt. Es wird angenommen, daß das adhäsive Material ein nichtmonotones mehrdeutiges Gesetz einführt, das durch nichtkonvexe Superpotentiale beschreiben werden kann. Die direkte Randwertintegralmethode wird für dieses Problem erweitert. Man erhält zwei äquivalente, mehrdeutige Integralgleichungen für jeden Riß. Die Theorie wird durch numerische Beispiele erläutert, die die Berechnung der auftretenden Spannungskonzentrationsfaktoren betreffen.
