Axisymmetric BEM analysis of one-layered transversely isotropic halfspace with cavity subject to external loads. (English) Zbl 1464.74337

Summary: This paper presents an axisymmetric boundary element analysis of one-layered transversely isotropic material of halfspace extent with either ellipsoidal or spherical cavity. This analysis uses the fundamental solution of a transversely isotropic bi-material fullspace subject to the body force uniformly concentrated at a circular ring. The finite and infinite boundary elements are, respectively, used to discretize the finite and semi-infinite regions of the external boundary and the finite boundary elements are used to discretize the internal boundary. Different types of the integrals in the discretized boundary integral equations are efficiently calculated. An improved traction recovered method is applied to calculate the stresses on the boundary. Using one set of BEM mesh, a total of 12 case studies are calculated for the elastic fields of the one-layered transversely isotropic solid by uniform traction on the external horizontal boundary. The solid has either an ellipsoidal, a spherical, or none cavity in the upper layer. Four combinations of two transversely isotropic metals are adopted for the one-layered solid. One metal is the stiff zinc and the other is the soft magnesium. The displacements for the cases with magnesium as the upper layer are larger than those with zinc as the upper layer. Besides, the effects of the lower solid materials to the displacements are limited. The BEM results also reveal the variations of the displacements and stresses within the halfspace with or without cavities for different cases.
