Effect of crack confi guration on the stress intensity factors for different fracture modes of homogeneous bimaterial: A three-dimensional fi nite element analysis (original) (raw)

This study investigates the influence of crack configuration on stress intensity factors in homogeneous bimaterials through three-dimensional finite element analysis. The objective is to optimize parameters such as pre-crack length, notch radius, and notch angle to minimize their effects on stress intensity factors for various fracture modes. Key findings reveal significant interactions between the geometric parameters and stress intensity factors, informing better design practices for bimaterial systems in engineering applications.
