Original abstract

The aim of this work is to study the behaviour of crack with its tip at the interface of two polymer materials. The numerical model of cracked bi-material tension specimen is investigated and a stability criterion was tested. Usually a stability criterion based on general stress concentrator needs the relation between critical value of the generalized stress intensity factor and critical value of the stress intensity factor (fracture toughness). This relation is a function of elastic mismatch between particular materials, fracture toughness of the main material and critical distance d. Estimation of d is usually not straightforward and different authors use different approaches for its determination. Therefore main aim of this study is mutual comparison of published approaches for d estimation and to quantify their effect on the critical loading value. The results of this study can lead to better lifetime prediction and design of layered structures.

Czech abstract

Cílem této práce je stadium chování trhliny s vrcholem na materiálovém rozhranní mezi dvěma polymerními materiály. Byl vytvořen numerický model bi-materiálového tahového vzorku a bylo aplikováno kritérium stability. V kritérii stability se objevuje vztah, který je funkcí elastických materiálových vlastností, lomové houževnatosti základního materiálu a kritické vzdálenosti d. Stanovení parametru d není často přímé a různí autoři používají různých přístupů pro jejích stanovení. Hlavním cílem této práce je porovnání publikovaných přístupů pro stanovení velikosti parametru d a stanovení vlivu jejich efektu na hodnotu kritického zatížení.
