Abstract

An analytical method is developed for scattering of SH-waves and dynamic stress concentration by an interacting interface crack and a circular cavity near bimaterial interface. A suitable Green's function is contructed, which is the fundamental solution of the displacement field for an elastic half space with a circular cavity impacted by an out-plane harmonic line source loading at the horizontal surface. First, the bimaterial media is divided into two parts along the horizontal interface, one is an elastic half space with a circular cavity and the other is a complete half space. Then the problem is solved according to the procedure of combination and by the Green's function method. The horizontal surfaces of the two half spaces are loaded with undetermined anti-plane forces in order to satisfy continuity conditions at the linking section, or with some forces to recover cracks by means of crack-division technique. A series of Fredholm integral equations of first kind for determining the unknown forces can be set up through continuity conditions as expressed in terms of the Green's function. Moreover, some expressions are given in this paper, such as dynamic stress intensity factor (DSIF) at the tip of the interface crack and dynamic stress concentration factor (DSCF) around the circular cavity edge. Numerical examples are provided to show the influences of the wave numbers, the geometrical location of the interface crack and the circular cavity, and parameter combinations of different medial upon DSIF and DSCF.
