ABSTRACT: Most of the structures in India were constructed when only simple methods could be used to
properly design them. But now the approach of finite element studies has advanced in such a way that
current analysis procedure for the safety assessment remains the same as those used earlier for the designs.
In this project a numerical study of the Stress Intensity Factors (SIF) (KI, KII) at a bi-material interface of a
repair patched beam loaded in three point bending for mixes of different compressive strengths. These
parameters were determined from the expressions derived by Rice and Sih. These results are compared with
results determined from Franc-2D/L, a two-dimensional fracture mechanics analysis code developed by
Cornell Fracture Group. It is found that the numerical predictions for the SIF were related with the
corresponding results from Franc-2D/L.also determined the effect of the SIF due to the increase in the
crack length. This helps in determining the additional load from the normal load to which the beam can
afford.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
It is an accepted fact that learning by experimenting is preferable to learning by rout. It leaves me
to explore facts that interest is while continuously opening up new doors of information that can enlighten
my ideas to new levels. Working on this project has been a continuous learning experience of different
kind. I got an opportunity to face different problems and it provided to be quite a challenge to put my best
efforts in trying to arrive the possible solution. The degree of success is immaterial when compared to
opportunities and experiences one gets to savor.
Thanks to my guide Dr. Venkateshwarulu Mandadi who has given me full freedom in my project
and gave me an opportunity to implement my ideas in this project. This has helped me to learn a new
approach in solving real time problems.
In the beginning it proved to be quite a bit of challenge to free myself from the rigidities that
restrict the scope in the course of the normal curriculum and get into an exploration mode of collecting and
applying the information not provided readymade to me on the platter. However the going was sufficiently
smoothened by my guide and gave me full support to progress on with my project. This went in relieving
me from unnecessary pressure that could have otherwise hampered the rate of my project.
Coming towards the end of my project I want to take every opportunity in expressing my gratitude
to our Coordinator Dr. Ramancharla Pradeep Kumar who have lent me support along the way and has
helped me to bring this project a logical conclusion. Last but not the least I’ve to thank my friends who
have encouraged me and also helped me in getting the recourses for my project.
THANK YOU

1. INTRODUCTION
Fracture mechanics approaches require that an initial crack size be known or assumed. For components
with imperfections or defects (such as welding porosities, inclusions and casting defects, etc.) an initial
crack size may be known. Alternatively, for an estimate of the total fatigue life of a defect-free material,
fracture mechanics approaches can be used to determine propagation. Strain-life approaches may then be
used to determine initiation life, with the total life being the sum of these two estimates.
1.1 Motivation:
The distinction between the initiation life and propagation life is important. At low strain amplitudes up to
90% of the life may be taken up with initiation, while at high amplitudes the majority of the fatigue life
may be spent propagating a crack. Fracture mechanics approaches are used to estimate the propagation life.
The strengthening of reinforced concrete members by externally bonded steel plates has become
increasingly common because of its cost-effectiveness and versatility. These days, the cracks caused due to
the heavy loading have made the structure less durable. Hence more recent activity has been directed in
long term durability of the adhesive and its interface bonding with the steel plate and the concrete.
1.2. Overview of the Project:
The goal of this dissertation is to address four aspects in adhesion science:
1 Measure the Stress Intensity Factors of modes I & II at the bi-material interface by initiating a edge crack
at the interface.
2 Study the effect of stress intensity factors of a three point bending analysis in beam geometry.
3 Analyze the effect of stress around and nearby to the crack tip.
4 Investigate the effect of the strength of the repair material.

1.3 Analysis of a Repair Patch System:
In this work a symmetrically loaded simply supported beam comprising of a patch of repair
concrete on the tension side is analyzed using the finite element based on the fracture mechanics theory. A
parametric study is conducted by the varying different parameters such as modulus of elasticity of the
repair concrete, interfacial crack length.
The figure below shows the geometry of the simply supported beam used in this analysis. It
consists of concrete repair material on the tension side of the parent material. It is loaded with the
concentrated load at the center of the beam having a magnitude which satisfies the tensile stress = 0.08. The
parent concrete material is considered to have a uniaxial compressive strength of 20 MPa with constant
Poisson’s ratio of 0.18. Due to symmetry and linearity only half of the beam is analyzed using the finite
element code FRANC-2D/L. the boundary conditions and the applied forces at the ends of the beam are
computed using the strength of materials.
For simulating the damage of the parent concrete beam, horizontal interface cracks between the parent and
repair concrete are assumed to develop from the bottom tip and extended horizontally at the interface
outward towards the support. The repair material is modeled as the linear elastic material having different
elastic modulus.
The finite element method consists of two dimensional, plane stress 8 node isoparametric and 6 node linear
triangular elements. The meshing is done in such a way that they are finer near the crack to the coarser
mesh away from the crack. The computations of SIF are determined through the following methods
1. Displacement Correlation Method
2. J-Integral Method
3. Modified Crack Closure Method.

FigureNo.1.b
Since the whole beam cannot be analysed in Franc-2D/L, it has been assumed that analyzing for the half of
the beam by applying the loading and the boundary conditions will give the result in terms of the respective
ratios of how we modeled.
Hence the modeling of the beam is done by taking half the length and applying the edge crack at the bi-
material interface.

2. Literature Review:
Many engineering applications require one material to be bonded to another. Examples include adhesive
joints; protective coatings; composite materials; and thin films used in the manufacture of microelectronic
circuits. In all these applications, techniques are required to predict the strength of the bond. Interface
cracking is one of the common failure modes in multi- layered structures.
Figure No.2:Crack tip at interface
To this end, linear elastic fracture mechanics helps to predict the behavior of cracks on, or near, the
interface between two dissimilar brittle materials.
2.1 Crack Tip Fields for a crack on an interface
As always, the foundation for linear elastic interfacial fracture mechanics is based on an asymptotic
analysis of the stress and strain fields near the tip of a crack.
The problem of interest is illustrated in the figure. A semi-infinite crack with a straight front that coincides
with the axis lies on the interface between two linear elastic solids. The solid is subjected to static
remote loading, and is assumed to deform in plane strain.
4
As preliminaries we introduce the following material parameters
The (complex) stress intensity factor K for an interface crack is defined as
Here, and are analogous to the mode I and mode II stress intensity factors for a crack in
a homogeneous solid. They characterize the magnitude of the loading – loosely, characterizes
the tendency of remote loads to open the crack, while characterizes the shear loading. For
interface cracks the near-tip fields do not decouple, however, so normal and shear stresses are
always induced by both and .
The value of K for an interface crack is determined by the solid’s shape and how it is loaded. Once K
is known, however, the near tip fields always have the form given by the asymptotic solution.
The opening and shear stresses along ahead of the crack tip can be calculated from
5
The crack opening displacements behind the crack tip can be calculated from
The complex exponent appearing in these expressions is scary – to understand what it means note that
so this term indicates that the stresses oscillate near the crack tip.
The energy release rate is related to and by
2.2 Theory of interface fracture
It has become standard to use the complex stress intensity factor K to characterize the severity of loading
near a crack tip in a bi-material interface. Rather than use and , however, the crack tip loading is
usually characterized by two parameters
1. The energy release rate
2. The `phase angle’ of loading (parameterizing mode mixity), defined as
6
The energy release rate can be computed unambiguously for a given specimen geometry and material pair.
This is not the case for the phase angle. In general, the stress intensity factor for an interface crack has the
form
so that the ratio depends on a characteristic length – and in fact depends on the units used. In
most practical situations this does not lead to serious difficulties, because the phase angle is such a weak
function of - since varies as and , even an order of magnitude
change in L produces an imperceptible change in phase angle. However, it is important to be aware of this
difficulty, and when reporting experimental measurements of interface toughness, it is important to specify
the characteristic length used in defining the phase angle.
An energy criterion is used to predict the critical loading needed to cause a crack to propagate along an
interface. Specifically
at the onset of fracture, where is the phase angle dependent fracture toughness.
The fracture resistance of the interface must be measured experimentally. Several standard
specimens are available for this purpose. Experiments show that increases rapidly with phase angle – in
fact many experimental data seem to be fit by
To apply LEIFM, then, it is necessary (i) to measure the fracture resistance of the interface as a function of
phase angle; (ii) calculate energy release rate and phase angle for the interface crack in the structure or
component of interest, and (iii) apply the fracture criterion to assess the load bearing capacity of the
component.
7
However, the strain energy release rate G computed by dimensionally wrong factors will still is
dimensionally valid.
The expressions for these biomaterial stress intensity factors, derived by Rice and Sih are
KI = {σ[cos (ε log 2a) + 2ε sin(ε log 2a)] + [τ[sin(ε log 2a) - 2ε cos(ε log 2a)]×√a}÷{cosh л ε}
KII = {τ[cos (ε log 2a) + 2ε sin(ε log 2a)] - [σ[sin(ε log 2a) - 2ε cos(ε log 2a)]×√a}÷{cosh л ε}
Where ε = 1/2л ln {[(3-4ν1)/ ((µ1+1)/ µ2)] ÷ [(3-4ν2)/ ((µ2+1)/ µ1)]}
In the above equations, ε is the oscillation index given by the equation above, τ and σ are the normal and
shear stresses along the interface and a is the crack length. When ε ≠0 the stresses oscillate heavily as the
crack tip is approached(r 0). Furthermore, the relative proportion of the interfacial normal and the shear
stresses varies slowly with distance from the crack tip because of the crack tip riε. Thus KI and KII cannot be
decoupled to represent the intensities of the interfacial crack.

3 Discussions of Results:
The simply supported repaired beam is analyzed by different parameters such as the interface crack length
and uniaxial compressive strength of the repair material in order to study the effects of the stress intensity
factors.
3.1 Effect of uniaxial compressive strength of the repair material:
In order to study the effect of the strength of the repair material, a parametric study is done by changing the
uniaxial compressive strength of the repair material. The uniaxial compressive strength of the parent
material is kept constant. The thickness of the repair material used is 75mm and the crack length is kept
constant of 1 inch. The Table 1 shows that the KI goes on decreasing with the increase in the compressive
strength of the repair material.
The response of the sliding mode KII is acting in such a way that when the compressive strength of the
repair material is less than the parent material, the KII gets decreased and then increased when the
compressive strength is more than that of the parent material. This behavior shows that the effect of the
repair material should be more when compared with the parent material. When the stress factor is increased
then the load carrying capacity will also gets increased.
The results of the above have been graphically listed below. The decrease in the KI will not have
much effect over this type of loading since the effect of sliding mode will dominate in these cases.
3.2 Effect of the interface crack length:
The mode I and mode II stress intensity factors (KI, KII) obtained for the different interface crack lengths
and different repair mixes using the Rice method. The stress intensity factors are computed near the tip of
the interface crack. The interface crack lies with the origin and extends towards the support.
The interfacial crack length increases at the rate of 0.833 inch till 3.5 inch. From figure, as the crack length
increases the value of KI decreases with the increase in the value of ε and the increase in KII. This implies
that the sliding mode stress intensity factor becomes dominant towards the fracturing process. Also the
9
other point to be noted in this result is that the value of both KI and KII increases with the increase of the
crack length for the same value of ε. This shows that the increase in the KI with the increase in the crack
length will increase the tensile mode which exceeds the maximum tensile stress of the beam. The table 2
and the figures will give the detailed view of the behavior of the SIF of both the modes for the different
repair mixes.

4. CONCLUSIONS
Repair and rehabilitation of civil engineering structures are gaining a lot of importance, at the same time
there are very little research done for establishing the performance criteria for the repair materials. This
helps to study the compatibility between the repair material and the parent concrete. In this work the
behavior of the damaged concrete beam which is strengthened by applying a new patch of repair concrete
material in the tensile zone is studied using Fracture Mechanics theory.
1. The SIF at the interfacial crack decreases with the increase in the modulus of elasticity.
2. As the crack length increases the SIF of mode II increases and there is decrease in mode II of SIF.
3. This implies that the sliding mode stress intensity factor becomes dominant towards the fracturing
process.
4. These results of the Stress Intensity Factor help to determine the combination of the parent
concrete and repair material with cost-effectiveness and versatility.
