What is Energy Based Approach for Crack Initiation and Propagation in Viscoelastic Solid about?
The development of simple and computationally efficient analytical models for predicting the time-dependent initiation and propagation of cracks in linear viscoelastic materials is of paramount importance in practical structural design using polymeric materials. A crack tip model similar to that of Schapery is adapted (R. A. Schapery, A theory of crack initiation and growth in viscoelastic media I. Theoretical development. International Journal of Fracture, 1975, 11(1), 141-159), in which the failure zone is assumed to be of highly-damaged material preceding the physical crack tip. In the spirit of Wnuk's total energy release formulation of elasto-plastic solid (M. P. Wnuk, Subcritical growth of fracture (inelastic fatigue). International Journal of Fracture Mechanics, 1971, 7(4), 383-407), the theoretical expression for the total energy release rate of viscoelastic materials has been derived through the application of the correspondence principle. The derived theory has been applied to three specific case studies: (i) an infinite plate with central crack subjected to remote tension, (ii) an edge crack in a semiinfinite plate subjected to a pair of equal and opposite concentrated f
