Abstract

The plane strain dynamic singular stress problem for glassfiber reinforced plastics with a broken layer at low temperatures is considered. With the order of stress singularity around the tip of the crack which is normal to and ends at the interface between orthotropic elastic materials, Laplace and Fourier transforms are used to formulate the problem in terms of a singular integral equation. The singular integral equation is solved by using the Gauss-Jacobi integration formula. Numerical calculations are carried out, and the dynamic stress intensity factors at different temperatures are shown graphically.
