Description
Summary:The path-independent J-integral is derived for fracture mechanics analysis of decagonal quasicrystals (QCs). The gradient theory of quasicrystals is developed here to consider large strain gradients at the crack tip vicinity. The constitutive equations contain phonon and phason stresses, and the higher-order stress tensor. The higher-order elastic material parameters are proportional to the internal length material parameter and the conventional elastic coefficients. The FEM equations are derived to solve general boundary value problems for the strain gradient theory of the QCs.
