Abstract

A preliminary analysis on crack evolution in viscoelastic materials was presented.Based on the equivalent inclusion concept of micro-mechanics theory,the explicit expressions of crack opening displacement δ and energy release rate G were derived,indicating that both δ and G are increasing with time.The equivalent modulus of the viscoelastic solid comprising cracks was evaluated.It is proved that the decrease of the modulus comes from two mechanisms:one is the visco-elasticity of the material,the other is the crack opening which is getting larger with time.
- isco-elasticity,
- crack,
- micro-mechanics
