| An elastic orthotropic material containing a crack in Mode I is considered to formulate a new analytical model. The boundary conditions for the crack existence in the material lead to the solution of the homogeneous Riemann–Hilbert problems. The mathematical model was elaborated for a single and two collinear cracks of different lengths and distance for Mode I in order to investigate cracks interaction problem. Using the theory of Cauchy’s integral and the numerical analysis, the fields in the vicinity of the crack tips were determined.Finite Element Method was applied to compare the mathematical analytical solution and to determine the fields in the vicinity of the crack tips. The critical values of applied stress which caused cracks propagation were evaluated. The interaction of cracks in an orthotropic aramid-epoxy material was studied in details. Comparison of both approaches to crack propagation leads to the conclusion that the new analytical model is correct and can be applied to more complex cracks geometries, including inclined cracks. |
