Abstract

In fracture and damage mechanics, modeling of crack propagation has always been a source of difficulties. Numerous works have been carried out on this case at the crack tip, introducing new parameters: the Stress Intensity Factor (K); which is the local Irwin parameter, and also the Rice integral (J), the Griffith's energizing method, in which J and G are the global parameters around the crack tip. The problem of the crack remains very complex and difficult problem to be solved. Several methods are used to investigate the crack problem, namely the method of gradient, the numerical methods by finite elements, as well as the thermodynamic approach and the classical methods of Irwin, Griffith or Rice, according to the Intensity Stress Factor. This study adds to the work already carried out. Using the analytical analysis method of equations, we manage to show that the Stress Intensity Factor has a matrix of rank 3 at the crack tip, which is a better form since it includes complex combination cases of crack mode and bifurcation. Furthermore, when the material is subjected to complex stress, after analysis we emerge from a new singularity in (r) which is different from the classical mode. Finally, we are shown the new form of singularity, which is frequency dependent. This work can explain many situations, for example, the case of certain structural disasters showing the presence of cracks for complex or uncontrollable stress.

1. Introduction
Since Irwin, some works have focused on the dynamic crack, highlighting the singularity of the stress intensity factor (FIK), at the crack tip. Considering the three elementary crack modes : mode I, mode II and mode III, which respectively associated the FIK: KI, KII and KIII. The resolution of the problem being complex, several methods have been found in addition to the classical methods of Irwin, Rice or Griffith. Among these methods we can cite: numerical methods by finite elements see , gradient models , as well as the thermodynamic approach the advantage of modeling a crack by a notch and the experimental method , to close this literature we can mention works on the propagation of the crack with a law of Paris improven .
This difficulty is due to the presence of crack which transforms the domain around the crack into a plastic domain, which is governed by nonlinear equations.
The main objective of the present work is the investigation of complexity propagation of crack in a ductile material under complex solicitation in crack tip. On the contrary to other works on the calculation of the FIC in separate mode by finite elements , or in dynamics , which doesn’t explicitly show the combination of the crack mode in complex cases, our work goes beyond by since in the case of a complex stress, leading to bifurcations, we introduce for the analytical analysis method, the notion of intensity factor matrix of stresses at the bottom of the crack, which for our knowledge is new. In addition we highlight the new singularity and the influence of frequencies on the singularity parameter. This work is a continuation of the work carried out in previous articles , which shows the new form of singularity at the crack tip.
2. Problem Formulations
2.1. Model Description
Let us consider a material with the initial mode I crack, submitted to a vibrating force (Fi), applied on the boundary surface (∂Ωd) and the volume (Ω), (see Figure 1).
Figure 1. Material with a crack under complex solicitation in which U is the displacement, N is the component of Fi in the ith direction, σ1 and σ2 are lips of the crack.
The general equation governing this domain is given by the following relation
λ+μgrad divU+μU=2Ut2(1)
By using the Clebsch theorem, the displacement vector U as well as all field of vector can be rewritten as
U=U1+U2, (2)
in which the U₁ is the derivative of a potential scalar and U₂ a potential vector. U is class C², which leads after the transformation to:
rotU1=0 and divU2=0, (3)
while taking into account Eq. (2) into Eq. (1), one has:
λ+μgrad divU1+λ+μgrad divU2+μU1+μU2=2(U1+U2)t2 (4)
which accounting to Eq. (3), with U=grad divU and U₂=-rot rotU₂, leads to
λ+μU1+μU2+ρ2(U1+U2)t2=0 (5)
2.2. Model Equation in Curvilinear Coordinates
Take into account the influence of the benchmark linked to the evolutionary trajectory of the crack, we make in the vicinity of the crack tip, the following changes of variable:
X=x+x0, Y=y+y0, Z=z+z0, (6)
where (x0, y0, z0) are the Cartesian coordinates of the tip in the reference mark., (x, y, z) are the coordinates of the point located in bottom of crack or to the neighborhood of the crack tip so that, in the reference mark bound to the crack which can be expressed in spherical coordinated as:
X=rcosφcosθ, Y=rsinφcosθ, Z=rsinθ, (7)
leading the derivation operator to
(x,y,z)=²X²-2s1²Xl+s12²²Y²-2s2²Yl+s22²²Z²-2s3²Zl+s32² (8)
with =s12+s22+s32 since one knows that the trajectory (ℓ) is function of (x₀, y₀, z₀) by the slant of the applied constraint (σapp) in the crack tip. We obtain the new form of partial derivative:
(x,y,z)=²X²+²Y²+²Z²(r,φ,θ)+s²²-2s12Xl+s22Yl+s32Zl. (9)
Considering elementary displacements dr, rdθ, rsinθdφ, the Laplacian △(x,y,z) becomes in spherical coordinates:
(x,y,z)=r,φ,θ+ s²²-2s1²rl+s2²rθl+s3²rsinθφl (10)
leading to
(x,y,z)=r,φ,θ+̃(,θ,l) (11)
Where ̃(,θ,l) represents the "singular" Laplacian because it depends on the evolution of the crack tip, so that
̃(,θ,l)= s²²-2s12rl+s22rθl+s32rsinθφl (12)
While applying this change of variable and reference mark to the resolution of the equation (5), we obtain in the spherical coordinates (with a₁²=μλ and a₂²=ρλ)
r,φ,θ U1+a12r,φ,θU1+̃(,θ,l)U1+a12̃(,θ,l)U=a22²Ut2 (13)
which is the general equation of propagation associated to the stationary reference mark, therefore the solution is a superposition of regular solutions Ur and singular solution Uε. To find Uε, we consider the neighborhood domain of the crack tip who bound to the dynamic reference mark were origin is crack tip. The regulars terms bound to the stationary reference mark and out of the singular zone are both equal zero, leading Eq. (13) to
̃(,θ,l)U1+a12̃(,θ,l)U=a22²Ut2(14)
This equation is the vibration equation and the propagation of the crack tip in the singular domain bound to the presence of the crack by the variable ℓ (length of the crack).
3. Structure of Solution
3.1. Preliminary
To determine the solution in the domain of crack or singularity zone who is characterized by the presence of the crack in this volume Ωs and the rayon r limited by Γ. We introduce the criteria of bifurcation by the matrix [K] (Matrix of the Factor of constraint intensity defined as.
K=k₁₁k₁₂k₁₃k₂₁k₂₂k₂₃k₃₁k₃₂k₃₃, (15)
which is the matrix of the FIC in the crack tip. Remembering the D. Leguillon and E. Sanchez-Palencia works, we deduct the form of the solution Uiε in the crack zone as:
Uiε=Kαψα Rλr U̲φ,θ,t(16)
in which λ is the degree of the singularity and U̲ the effectif displacement in the crack tip. The component of matrix [K] is noted by kij=[Hi(ω)](Kj), were (KJ) is the factor of constraint intensity. While replacing [K] by his expression in (16):
Uiε=HiωKj, αψα Rλr U̲φ,θ,t. (17)
Hi(ω) is the applied strength compatible with the mode of crack. Considering the principle of separation of Fourier variables, we obtain
Uiε=HiωKj, αψαε.Rλr.Φφ.Θθ.eiωt  (18)
Let Υα=HiωKj, αψαε. Eq. (18) become
Uiε=ΥαRλr.Φφ.Θθ.eiωt , (19)
Uiε=U1i+U2i=ΥαRλr.U̲iφ,θeiωt . (20)
So that U1i=ΥαR1λr.Φ1φ.Θ1θeiωt  and U2i=ΥαR2λr.Φ2φ.Θ2θeiωt 
We consider (14) with the operator ̃(,θ,l), the singular solution applied to the displacement is given by (18).
3.2. The Boundary Conditions on Side
U=0 on Ω and for r0. We have Uε=Ur on (Ur is the regular displacement), on the ∂Ωd σ.n=Fi at t=o we suppose Uε=0, either t = tk and ω ≠ 0 we have F(tk) = 0. In 3D the function R(r) is the form rλ with λ > -(1/2).
3.3. Quasi-Static Approach
To solve (14), we are make the hypothesis of small perturbation (HPP) and consider the harmonic motion with the limit condition by Uxi=Ficosωt, who drive us, in the spherical coordinates, when we introduce (18) in (14), we obtain the system of differential equation. For the resolution, let’s apply the hypothesis of a harmonic movement with the limits condition. What drives us to (14). Let’s introduce (18) in (14), this transformation gives the system of differential:
T̈+λ02a²T=0,Φ̈+λ2n2Φ=0,Θ̈sin²θ+Θ̇12sin2θ+λ1nsin2θ+λ2nΘ=0,r²R̈+2rṘ+r2λ0n2-λ1n2R=0. (21)
3.4. Discussion and Remarks
The system of equations (21) translates through the two last lines the presence of the singularity and the weakly (amortize) at the crack tip by the terms: (sin2θ, r2), (12sin2θ, 2r) and λ1nsin2θ+λ2n, r2λ0n2-λ1n2 respectively of Θ(θ) and Φ(φ). It can’t be assimilated to terms of intertie’s, amortizations and stiffness. The condition of the weakly (amortize) imposes the relations: (12sin2θ < 2sin2θ, 12sin2θ < 2(λ1nsin2θ+λ2n), and (2r < r2 , 2r < (λ0nr2+λ1n) where
r>2,λ0n r²-2r-λ1n>0,andtanθ>1,2λ1nsin²θ-sin2θ+λ2n>0. (22)
Then, from inequality (22) we obtain r]2, r₀[]r₁, +[, r0=1-1+λ0nλ1nλ0n and r1=1+1+λ0nλ1nλ0n and λ₀]4+λ1n4, +[the system is not harmonic and the crack is static.
r]r₀, r₁[, the system is harmonic.
Finally the analysis of Eq. (22) shows that θ]π4, 5π4[ for the non-harmonic case, and θ]π4, 5π4[ for the harmonic case.
4. Analytical Solutions
4.1. Case of the First Line of Eq. (21)
The form of its solution is Tα(t)=B0αλ0α(ω)cos[ω0nt+β0αλ0α(ω)], with ω0n2=λ02a2 and B0αλ0α(ω) the phase difference between the excitation and the answer of the material. After application of the boundary condition, we obtain (ω0n=2n+1ωn)
 Tαt=B0αλ0αcωcos2n+1ωn, λ0α=2n+1ωnaα (23)
and
Uiε=Υαn=0+Rσn (r).Φαnφ.Θαnθcos2n+1ωnt(24)
4.2. Case of the Second Line of Eq. (21)
The solution is
Φαn=B5αnexp-λ2αn,ωφ+D1αnexp--λ2αn,ωφ(25)
Where
Φαn=B5αncosλ2αn,ωφ+D1αnsinλ2αn,ωφ (26)
corresponding respectively to λ₂α(n,ω) < 0 and to λ₂α(n,ω) > 0, wiht ϕ₂α(n,ω) = 0 if to λ₂α(n,ω) = 0.
4.3. Case of the Last Line of Eq. (21)
The form of solution this equation is given by the method of series by
Rαnr=rPm=0+Aαmnjrm (27)
the determinant equation of the last line of Eq. (21) is P2+P- λ1n= 0, the solution of is
P1=-1+1+4λ1α(n,ω)2 and P2=-1-1+4λ1α(n,ω)2 (28)
Where P1n-P2n=δn with δn=1+4λ1α(n,ω) or δn=ΓeiJ, where Γ is the module of δn, and J the argument of δn (i2 = -1).
Aαmnj=-2n+1ωAαm-1nam+PJnα2+m+PJnα-λ1α (29)
the recurrent relation between Aαmn and Aαm-2n, with + Pjnα2 + (+ Pjnα)-λ1α (n,ω)  0, m ≥ 2 and j = {1,2}, for j = 1 we have P1nα, for j = 2 we have P2nα.
4.4. Analysis and Interpretation
For δnN*
Kn'N* it exists λ1n so that 1+4λ1n =Kn' where λ1n=Kn'2-14, the solution is
Rαnar,P1,P2=RealB1R1r+B2R2r+ImB1R1r+B2R2r (30)
where B1nα and B2nα are the constants.
R1r=r-12+Γ2cosJ2m=0+Aαmn1rm,×cosΓ2sinJ2lnr+isinΓ2sinJ2lnr. (31)
R2r=r-12+Γ2cosJ2m=0+Aαmn2rm,×cosΓ2sinJ2lnr-isinΓ2sinJ2lnr. (32)
For δnN, one has: 1+4λ1n=kn leading to λ1n=Kn2-14, (kn ∈ N) where
Rαnbr,P1,P2=B3R3r+B4R4r. (33)
B3nα,, B4nα are the constants.
R3r=rk-12m=0+Aαmn1rm, (34)
R4r=μrKn2-14lnrm=0+Aαmn1rm+r-Kn2+14 m=0+Aαmn2rm. (35)
where
Uiε=ΥαnIαB0αnaψαnaεRar,P1,P2ΦαnaφΘαnaθcos2n+1ωnt+nIαB0αnbψαnb εRbr,P1,P2ΦαnbφΘαnbθcos2n+1ωnt(36)
which is the general solution.
According to for the 3D case, the particularity of the characteristic of exposing of singularity on the crack tip is strictly greater than -1/2. While applying this condition to our results one has: -12±Γ2cosJ2>-12 and -1±k2>-12 or ±ΓcosJ2>0 and ±k>0, finally one has 0<J<2π.
By identification, we have the convergence condition of the solution m=0+AαmnJrm=1  and P>-12. where -1±1+4λ1α2>-12 soit λ1α(n,ω)>-14. The condition 3D impose Pj = P1nα and B2nα = B4nα = 0, (31) and (34) becomes
Rαnar,P1,P2=B1Real R1r+ImR1r,Rαnar,P1,P2=B1 R1r,Rαnbr,P1,P2=B3 R3r, (37)
and
R1r=r-12+Γ2cosJ2m=0+Aαmn1rmexpiΓ2sinJ2lnr,R3r=r-1+k2m=0+Aαmn1rm . (38)
Finally, the solution must be written
Uiε=ΥαnIαB01αnaψαnaεR1narΦαnaφΘαnaθcos2n+1ωt+nIαB03αnbψαnb εR3rΦαnbφΘαnbθcos2n+1ωt (39)
This approach show the displacements are generally singular in r-1+k2 and r-12+Γ2cosJ2.
The modes nN* and n ≠ k, (is the number of mode n who Fi (tk) = 0, and ωk=π2tk(2k+1), we have ω0n=2n+1ωn, (ω0n is the real value of pulsation). Considering the relation between ω0n and ωn.
Firstly, when n > n0  ωn2 [0, 1] and n n0  ωn 2 [0, 1] with n0 = E(ω0n2) -1, (E(X) = is the integer part of X), we obtain the graph who confirm this situation:
Figure 2 confirms the situation in the singular domain, when (n) increases the frequency supply towards zero, confirming that we are the restriction domain.
We noticed that, when n grow up, the frequencies ωn decreases and offering toward zero. For n offering toward zero we have ωn who increase. Secondly, we are fixed n≠0, when (n, ω0n) → +, and ωn  0, the crack under solicitation max, we have the propagation of the crack.
Figure 2. Graph of ωn function according to n for different values of ω0.
Figure 3. Graph of ωn function of ω0n. n represent the mode of vibration or frequencies.
ω0n is the eigenfrequencies.
To warn the reduction of the propagation crack is better to choose one material who ω0n is big. Besides, this graph (Figure 3) shows that the Eigen-frequency of the material change, confirming the influence of damages on a characteristics of the material .
5. Singularity Equation of Frequencies
5.1. Resolution for (14)
In the crack tip, the form of displacements is
U=KeiωtrλnUθ,φ, with λn>-12. (40)
Considering the equation (21) and the separating of the solution Uθ,φ=ΘθΦφ, applying (14), one has
2Ut2=-ω2KeiωtrλnΘθΦφ(41)
and
r,θ,φU=KeiωtR̈ΘΦ+2rṘΘΦ+1r2sin2θΦ̈,+1r2Θ̈+1r2tan2θṘΘ̇Φ.(42)
Considering the domain around the crack tip or the singular domain we have:
̃,θ,l=s22Kl2-2s12Krl+s22Krθl+s32Krsinθφl×rλneiωtΘΦ(43)
and (21) become
-ω2=a2R̈R+2rṘR+1r2sin2θΦ̈Φ+1rΘ̈Θ+1r2tanθΘ̇Θ. (44)
Knowing that Rr=rλn, Ṙr=λnrλn-1, R̈r=λnλn-1rλn-2, either
R̈R=λnλn-1r-2,  ṘR=λnr-1,  Θ̈Θ=λn. (45)
Concerning Θ̈sin²θ+Θ̇12sin2θ+λ1nsin2θ+λ2nΘ=0, to multiply by 1r2Θsin2θ we obtain
1r2Θ̈Θ+1r2tanθΘ̇Θ=-1r2sin2θλ1nsin2θ+λ2n(46)
Introduce (45), (46) in (44), we obtain the equation of the singularity of the frequencies
ωn2=a2r2λ1nsin2θ+λ2nsin2θ-λnλn-1-2λn-λ2nsin2θ(47)
ωn=arλ1n-λnλn-1, λ1n=kn'2-14(48)
(kn′ ∉ N*). The frequencies are function of the degree of singularity in crack tip and the domain of fissuration by the parameter r. For λnn+1) = 0 (λn =0 or λn = -1), (53) becomes of frequency equation of non-evolution of crack ωn=ar λ1n.
5.2. Interpretation
The dispersion relations (47) and (48) confirm the nonlinearity and disruptions at the level of frequencies to the neighborhood of the crack tip.
Figure 4 represents the graph of ωn(r) with the parameter (a) function a variable (a) for the different values of (ωnr=1r λ1n, ωnr=5r λ1n, ωnr=10r λ1n, ωnr=20r λ1n, ωnr=50r λ1n). It gives us a good interpretation for the evolution of frequencies: This graph shows that when r is big the frequency decreases explaining the fact that one is far from of the crack tip, on the other hand, when one comes closer of the crack tip (r=0), we are the plastic domain and greatly nonlinear equation (21). In neighbor domain (r=0), the presence of crack leads to strongly increasing of the frequency.
Figure 4. The graph of evolution the ωn = f(r) according to the n.
The different curves show that, for every value of the frequency, when r increases, far from crack ωn offers toward zero: we are the linear domain.
6. Conclusion
Through this survey we putted in light three aspects: the first aspect concerning the FIK that can get therefore under matrix of rank 3, the eigenvalues of this matrix are the classical mode KI, KII and KIII; secondly, the appearing of new forms of singularity in the crack tip: third, the influence of frequencies on the singularity therefore on the propagation of the crack. The present work reveals that a vibratory loading of a material with an initial mode I of crack leads to the appearance of non classical singular modes of the type rΥncosβnlnr+χn, around the crack tip. These modes, in combination with those classically encountered in work on the calculation of the displacement field in materials exhibiting a crack, can produce a change in crack path as well as mode bifurcations and branching effects at the crack tip origin. The damage of the material is then more pronounced and happens more quickly than it does in absence of the vibratory loading. In addition, the way to perform the inner and the outer asymptotic expansions around the crack tips undergoes a substantial changing in some way due to by the complexity of the radial functions Rαna(r,P1,P2) and Rαnb(r,P1,P2). For k = 0 we obtain the classical case who the displacements are singular in r-12. Beside for k ≠ 0, the displacements are singular in r-1+k2, we have the small perturbation and the strong perturbation for the singularity of r-12+Γ2cosJ2.

    AB  - In fracture and damage mechanics, modeling of crack propagation has always been a source of difficulties. Numerous works have been carried out on this case at the crack tip, introducing new parameters: the Stress Intensity Factor (K); which is the local Irwin parameter, and also the Rice integral (J), the Griffith's energizing method, in which J and G are the global parameters around the crack tip. The problem of the crack remains very complex and difficult problem to be solved. Several methods are used to investigate the crack problem, namely the method of gradient, the numerical methods by finite elements, as well as the thermodynamic approach and the classical methods of Irwin, Griffith or Rice, according to the Intensity Stress Factor.
