The mixed-type integral equations for transient elastodynamic plane crack problems

In the present paper, by use of the boundary integral equation method and the techniques of Green fundamental solution and singularity analysis, the dynamic infinite plane crack problem is investigated. For the first time, the problem is reduced to solving a system of mixed-typed integral equations in Laplace transform domain. The equations consist of ordinary boundary integral equations along the outer boundary and Cauchy singular integral equations along the crack line. The equations obtained are strictly proved to be equivalent with the dual integral equations obtained by Sih in the special case of dynamic Griffith crack problem. The mixed-type integral equations can be solved by combining the numerical method of singular integral equation with the ordinary boundary element method. Further use the numerical method for Laplace transform, several typical examples are calculated and their dynamic stress intensity factors are obtained. The results show that the method proposed is successful and can be used to solve more complicated problems.

Cauchy singular integral equation method for transient antiplane dynamic problems

In this paper, by use of the boundary integral equation method and the techniques of Green basic solution and singularity analysis, the dynamic problem of antiplane is investigated. The problem is reduced to solving a Cauchy singular integral equation in Laplace transform space. This equation is strictly proved to be equivalent to the dual integral equations obtained by Sih [Mechanics of Fracture, Vol. 4. Noordhoff, Leyden (1977)]. On this basis, the dynamic influence between two parallel cracks is also investigated. By use of the high precision numerical method for the singular integral equation and Laplace numerical inversion, the dynamic stress intensity factors of several typical problems are calculated in this paper. The related numerical results are compared to be consistent with those of Sih. It shows that the method of this paper is successful and can be used to solve more complicated problems.

A new type of boundary integral-equation for plane problems of elasticity including rotational forces

Based on the idea proposed by Hu [Scientia Sinica Series A XXX, 385-390 (1987)], a new type of boundary integral equation for plane problems of elasticity including rotational forces is derived and its boundary element formulation is presented. Numerical results for a rotating hollow disk are given to demonstrate the accuracy of the new type of boundary integral equation.

High-order asymptotic field of tensile plane-strain nonlinear crack problems

In this paper, the governing equations and the analytical method of the secondorder asymptotic field for the plane-straln crack problems of mode I have been presented. The numerical calculation has been carried out. The amplitude coefficients k2 of the second term of the asymptotic field have been determined after comparing the present results with some fine results of the finite element calculation. The variation of coefficients k2 with changes of specimen geometry and developments of plastic zone have been analysed. It is shown that the second term of the asymptotic field has significant influence on the near-crack-tip field. Therefore, we may reasonably argue that both the J-integral and the coefficient k2 can beeome two characterizing parameters for crack initiation.

Implantar un Sistema de Gestion Integral en Software libre

El proyecto de fin de carrera “Implantar un Sistema de Gestión Integral en Software libre” se ha desarrollado en la empresa Avanzosc con sede en Azkoitia. Una peculiaridad del proyecto es que a su vez se ha utilizado como cliente otra empresa, q2K, Soluciones Informáticas en Gestión Estratégica. El objetivo del proyecto es implantar en q2K un sistema de planificación de recursos empresariales (ERP, Enterprise Resource Planning), esto le permite reunir en una única aplicación todos los procesos de negocio de la empresa. La implantación de un ERP requiere de una importante inversión ya que el coste de la licencia de un sistema ERP propietario es elevado. Una interesante alternativa para evitar este desembolso es optar por un de ERP de software libre con todas las ventajas de configuración y personalización. En nuestro caso se ha adoptado OpenERP que es un software integral, modular y adaptable, adecuado para pequeñas y medianas empresas. El desarrollo del proyecto ha estado supervisado por el equipo de trabajo de Avanzosc, empresa líder en España en implantación de OpenErp, siguiendo la metodología de trabajo propia de esta empresa.

Gestión integral de la ampliación de una infraestructura de sistemas y servicios

Este proyecto se sitúa en el ámbito de las empresas que ofertan servicios informáticos a terceros. Estas empresas se dedican a cubrir las necesidades de gestión de la infraestructura de sistemas y servicios de los clientes. En concreto, los proyectos de ampliación de esas infraestructuras suelen ser bastante problemáticos. Este proyecto desarrolla un conjunto de procedimientos que permiten gestionar la ampliación de una infraestructura de sistemas y servicios de acuerdo a una librería de buenas prácticas denominada ITIL.
