Abstract
The widespread of composite structures demands efficient numerical methods for the simulation dynamic behaviour of elastic laminates with interface delaminations with interacting faces. An advanced boundary integral equation method employing the Hankel transform of Green’s matrices is proposed for modelling wave scattering and analysis of the eigenfrequencies of interface circular partially closed delaminations between dissimilar media. A more general case of partially closed circular delamination is introduced using the spring boundary conditions with non-uniform spring stiffness distribution. The unknown crack opening displacement is expanded as Fourier series with respect to the angular coordinate and in terms of associated Legendre polynomials of the first kind via the radial coordinate. The problem is decomposed into a system of boundary integral equations and solved using the Bubnov-Galerkin method. The boundary integral equation method is compared with the meshless method and the published works for a homogeneous space with a circular open crack. The results of the numerical analysis showing the efficiency and the convergence of the method are demonstrated. The proposed method might be useful for damage identification employing the information on the eigenfrequencies estimated experimentally. Also, it can be extended for multi-layered composites with imperfect contact between sub-layers and multiple circular delaminations.
1. Introduction
Widespread occurrence of composite structures in aerospace, aircraft, geophysics, building construction as well as in high-performance products led to the growth of the studies of the dynamics of various inhomogeneities or defects. Thus, crack analysis became a natural task for engineering applications due to the importance of the detection of defects and flaws known as delaminations. A special focus is on the interface delaminations, which detection is more cumbersome due to the additional reflections from the interface itself. If the faces of delaminations are partially closed, their identification becomes even more labour-consuming. In particular, the determination of the wave resonances and the eigenfrequencies or the natural frequencies has wide applications such as acoustic spectroscopy, prediction of possible structural failure and non-destructive testing. Indeed, wave propagation at the resonance frequencies exhibits itself in the larger resulting wave amplitudes and wave localization, which can be employed for determining the shape and properties of inhomogeneities using electromagnetic and acoustic waves []. Recently, local defect resonances were employed in the matters of non-destructive testing. For instance, inverse problems of the crack identification based on natural frequencies were studied theoretically and experimentally for rods [,] and plates [,].
From the mathematical point of view, wave resonances are related to the eigenfrequencies, the eigenvalues or the spectral points of the corresponding boundary-value problem, which naturally causes the wave energy capturing and localization or resonance blocking [,,,,,]. For the problems of analyzing wave resonances and scattering in an unbounded domain with inhomogeneities, the boundary integral equations method (BIEM) is among the most suitable, since the BIEM allows to employ Green’s matrices constructed for unbounded media. Thus, analytical and semi-analytical methods, such as wave function expansion techniques [], the ray theory and its modifications [], the method of bi-characteristics [] and various other methods, are restricted to the specific geometry or wavelengths. The purely numerical methods, e.g., the finite element method and the finite difference method, are not so efficient for modelling an unbounded media. This fact led to the development of novel hybrid methods, and a reasonable number of hybrid approaches are based on the BIEM []. Two valuable reviews on the BIEM with relevant references regarding numerical methods for determining the eigenvalues of elastodynamics problems based on the BIEM can be found in [,]. It should be also noted that the BIEM can also be efficiently applied for bounded domains: for example, Alves and Antunes [] applied the method of fundamental solutions for calculating the elastic resonance frequencies and estimating the eigenmodes for the disk of some non-trivial shapes. Interface delaminations are often modelled as infinitesimally thin cuts with zero stresses on the crack faces, which corresponds to the open crack case. However, it might be significant to take into consideration that the crack faces are not fully open, and they are in contact without friction near the tips [,]. The interface delamination, in which the crack faces adjacent to the crack tips can interact, are also called bridged cracks []. The crack surfaces interaction can be modelled using the distributed spring model, which was introduced by Rice and Levy [] and Baik and Thompson [] for static and dynamic cases respectively, and it was experimentally validated recently in [].
The BIEM is efficient for the solution of the scattering problem for strip-like [,,], penny-shaped [,,,,,,,,,], elliptic [], rectangular [,] arbitrary shaped [] cracks. In the 1990s, location of the resonance poles or eigenfrequencies in the complex frequency plane for an elastic space was investigated for circular crack [], elliptical crack [] as well as rectangular and L-shaped cracks []. Boundary integral equations derived for a crack in a homogeneous space can be uncoupled into two equations, which is not possible for interface cracks between two dissimilar media. Apparently, for this reason, the properties of interface cracks have not been studied so extensively. As far as the authors know, the spectral properties of interface delaminations between dissimilar media and in the case of partial contact between the faces of a delamination has not been investigated in a three-dimensional case and the BIEM has not been yet extended to solve theses problems.
This work aims to develop an efficient method for modelling a wide class of delaminations, which can be further used in hybrid methods (an example can be found in []) for structural health monitoring and nondestructive evaluation. The study presents the advanced BIEM based on the Fourier series expansion and the Hankel transform of Green’s matrices suitable for the modelling wave scattering and the analysis of the eigenfrequencies of an partially closed circular interface delamination. The advanced BIEM extends previous BIEM implementations for circular cracks [,,], where only an open crack and a uniform partially closed delamination [] in a homogeneous space were considered. In this study, more general formulations based on the spring boundary conditions (SBCs) are employed, which allows for simulating partially closed delaminations with non-uniform partial contact between faces. Another novelty of the presented BIEM is in the consideration of interface delamination between two dissimilar media. The presented BIEM is compared with Krenk and Schmidt [], Kundu and Boström [] for a homogeneous space with circular delamination and the meshless method based on the BIEM [] for dissimilar media. The results of the numerical analysis showing the efficiency of the method are demonstrated.
2. The Boundary Integral Equation Method
2.1. Formulation of the Problem
Let us consider steady-state harmonic motion of two dissimilar elastic isotropic half-spaces with an interface single delamination. The values related to the lower and upper half-spaces () are denoted by indices 1 and 2 respectively. The harmonic multiplier with angular frequency is conventionally omitted below. Material properties of each of the half-spaces are defined by the mass density , Poisson’s ratio and Young’s modulus . The longitudinal and transverse wave velocities, respectively, take the form
Hereinafter, the index j indicating a half-space is omitted whenever possible.
In this study, a circular delamination of radius a is addressed. Therefore, it is convenient to introduce a cylindrical coordinate system as shown in Figure 1. The displacement vector is expressed in terms of the potential functions and in the form
where

Figure 1.
Statement of the problem.
The tangential and normal components (traction vector) of stress-tensor are expressed in term of the components of the displacement vector as follows
In a cylindrical coordinate system, three governing equations of motion are three Helmholtz equations:
written in terms of the wavenumbers of the longitudinal and trasnverse waves for each half-space. The continuity of the displacement and the traction vectors is assumed at the interface between two half-spaces except the delaminated zone :
Here square brackets denote an operator a jump of function f at the interface:
Since the considered interface damage can be of various types (an open crack, a bridged crack or a partially closed crack), the SBCs are stated in the delaminated domain :
Here is the crack opening displacement (COD) vector, is three-by-three stiffness matrix, which is a function of the radial coordinate r.
Total wave-field in the media can be represented as a sum of an incident wave-field and the wave-field scattered by the delamination . In this paper, the solution method for an arbitrary incident wave-field is presented, but the numerical examples are demonstrated for the scattering of the incident plane waves incoming from the lower half-space.
2.2. Solution of an Auxiliary Problem for Each Half-Space
To construct the scattered wave-field, an auxiliary problem for an elastic half-space with a given surface load is considered, i.e.,
The wave-fields excited by the surface load has an integral representation via the Green’s matrix and surface load [,], which are derived below using the Hankel transform and Fourier series expansion.
An integral representation of the wave-field can be constructed using expansion of the solution in the form of the Fourier series over the angular coordinate :
Since we deal with half-space, the limiting absorption principle is chosen for the uniqueness []. The substitution of (5) into (2) and the application the Hankel transform with respect to the radial coordinate r gives the following expansion coefficients for half-space
where conditions must be satisfied for and functions are determined from the boundary conditions on the surface .
Following [,], the displacement and the traction vectors can also be expanded into Fourier series:
written in terms of diagonal matrices:
and the expansion coefficients:
which are expressed via functions (6). Using recurrent formulae for the Bessel functions:
the following integral representations for all the potentials can be obtained
Accordingly, it makes sense to introduce the following vectors
Further, it is natural to represent also the traction vector in the form of a Fourier series expansion as
and construct
from the expansion coefficients.
Finally, the integral representation of the wave-fields in each half-space excited by an arbitrary surface load is written
where the matrix is the diagonal matrix of Bessel functions and the Hankel transform of the expansion coefficients for the surface load also has an integral representation:
The Hankel transform of Green’s matrix for the rearranged traction vector is constructed in the same manner as in [], but in cylindrical coordinates, see [] for more details.
2.3. Solution of the Boundary Integral Equation
Next, the solutions for two auxiliary problems for each half-space are employed to formulate the boundary integral equation for the delamination occupying domain . Thus, the Hankel transforms of the components of the traction vector at the common interface between two half-spaces can be expressed in terms of the Hankel transform of an unknown displacement jump :
In the case of delamination, the latter is the crack opening displacement (COD).
Substitution of the integral representations of the scattered wave-fields (9) into the boundary conditions (3) and (4) leads to the boundary integral equation:
Following [,,], the COD is expanded in terms of associated Legendre polynomials of the first kind
Here diagonal matrices
are introduced for brevity. It should be mentioned that due to the properties of associated Legendre polynomials, an amendment in the indices is required for :
The Hankel transforms of the basis functions are expressed in terms of Bessel functions . Taking into account the equality , the following relations can be obtained for
and for
The employment of the Bubnov-Galerkin scheme allows discretizing the system of boundary integral Equation (10):
Here is the Hankel transform of the matrix , the first term in the right-hand side describe the behaviour of an open crack, whereas the second term takes into account the interaction of the faces of the delamination modelled employing the distributed spring with stiffness .
Using discretized form (11) of boundary integral Equation (10), one can write that the eigenfrequencies satisfy one of the following equations:
Therefore, the eigenfrequencies of circular interface delaminations can be separated into different classes in accordance with the order m of the trigonometric functions in series (5). Accordingly, the eigenfrequencies are enumerated using two indices. For simplicity, the normalized eigenfrequencies are employed further.
2.4. Far-Field Asymptotic
The direct calculation of the scattered wave-field in the form of (9) gives significant oscillation due to to the behaviour of the integrand. Besides, it is also necessary to take into account the integral contours. On the other hand, asymptotic representations of the scattered wave-fields in the far-field zone can be determined considering the contribution of stationary points into the values of the oscillating integrals []. An introduction of spherical coordinates is preferable for constructing the far-field asymptotics:
where corresponds to the upper half-space, and corresponds to the lower half-space. The oscillation of the integrand in (10) grows with R increases, which greatly complicates the calculation of integrals. The dominating integral function of the form can be explicitly distinguished by the asymptotic method. For this, it is required to determine the contribution of critical points into the asymptotic of the oscillating integrals, which includes stationary points of the exponents (phase function), poles and branching points.
The displacement vector for the circular crack in the spherical coordinates is rewritten as follows:
where
is the transfer matrix for the rearranged displacement vector in (8). If the decomposition of the Hankel transform of Green’s matrices for the media in the form
is substituted into (9), the following expression for (12) can be deduced:
Here, describes scattered longitudinal () and transverse () waves in terms of integral representations
In integral representation (14), the explicit dependence on has the form
The integration contour can be split up into two parts for each term in (14): and In , the exponential becomes purely imaginary, whereas it is purely real outside . Since the contribution of limiting points in the values of the integrals (14) decay faster than , it is enough to apply the method of stationary phase []. Thus, the phase functions
have stationary points . Using the relation between Bessel function and Hankel functions of the first and the second kind ( and ) and their asymptotic representations at []:
the contribution of nondegenerate stationary points into the asymptotics of the integrals as can be determined. According to the stationary phase method [], the dominant term of the asymptotics of given by (12) in the far-field zone () has the form
where
3. Convergence and Comparison
The advanced BIEM code has been implemented in Fortran 90 and numerically validated (see Section 3.1 and Section 3.2). Properties of the materials used further for the numerics are given in Table 1. In the case of a homogeneous space, glass is chosen to compare with [,,]. If two dissimilar half-spaces are considered, then the lower half-space has material properties of aluminium and the upper half-space has properties of polycarbonate.

Table 1.
Material properties.
Components of the diagonal spring stiffness matrix used in the SBCs can be chosen differently, e.g., following [,,], where the ratios between normal and tangential stiffnesses were estimated. However, since the study focuses on the numerical aspects of the BIEM for partially delaminated zones, the equality of the three components of the stiffness matrix has been assumed for the numerics below:
The proposed BIEM allows to simulate arbitrarily distributed spring stiffness, for the numerical analysis spring stiffness defined via the following representation has been chosen
The latter allows to investigate four kinds of delaminations, which are assumed as the most natural []: an open crack, a bridged crack, a uniformly partially closed delamination and a bridged delamination. In a generalized case of a bridged delamination ( and ), while for three other types some conditions are assumed. The typical plots for the all four cases are shown in Figure 2 and the conditions for the considered type of cracks are listed in Table 2.

3.1. Crack Opening Displacement and Wave-Fields
First, the presented BIEM has been compared with the results obtained by Kundu and Boström [] and Krenk and Schmidt []. Figure 3 depicts the amplitudes of the COD vector for an open circular crack in a homogeneous glass space induced by for the normally incident longitudinal wave at . This figure illustrates a good agreement of the presented BIEM with the meshless method [] and the results of [], which are also shown in Figure 3. The far-field asymptotic can also be validated via the comparison with [], where a homogeneous space was considered. Figure 4 exhibits the amplitudes , i.e., in the plane , and a very good coincidence with the results obtained by Krenk and Schmidt [] is observed for . In Figure 4, value has been used, while it should be mentioned that the results are almost the same for due to the same normalization.

Two more examples of the comparison of the presented advanced BIEM with the meshless method [] for circular delaminations are exhibited in Figure 5 and Figure 6. In these figures, two contour plots show the vertical components of the COD of a circular open crack calculated using the present BIEM and the meshless approach [] in the case of the incident the SV-wave at angle to plane and angle to plane for homogeneous glass (Figure 5) and for aluminium/polycarbonate (Figure 6) at . The meshless method [] gives an integral estimation of the COD, which allows achieving a good convergence for the solution in a far-field zone or the average COD, but it leads to a slow convergence for the COD itself. Therefore, the proposed advanced BIEM provides a more accurate solution with lower computational costs for the COD compared to the meshless method [].

Figure 7, where the amplitudes of the COD vector for the same parameters as in Figure 6 are shown, demonstrates that the BIEM has rather fast convergence for all kinds of delaminations under study. A fast convergence rate is provided by diagonal dominance in the left-hand side matrix, which becomes stronger if . Figure 7 also illustrates the fact that scattering by a uniformly partially closed delamination and bridged delamination is rather similar.

3.2. Eigenfrequencies
The eigenfrequencies of an open circular crack in the homogeneous space made of glass calculated by the present BIEM have been compared with [], where the first three eigenfrequencies were computed using Padé approximations: the results of comparison are given in Table 3. In this table, three decimal places are given to compare with []. It should be also noted that due to different introduction of the Fourier transform, the real and imaginary parts of the eigenfrequencies calculated in this study and by Kaptsov and Shifrin [] change places.

Analysis of a partial contact between faces of delamination can be provided using Figure 8, where trajectories of the eigenfrequencies of a circular uniformly distributed delamination in an elastic space made of glass in the frequency complex plane are depicted. Markers show the eigenfrequencies for intermediate values of ( is the shear modulus of the upper half-space). The obtained spectral points are also in agreement with results obtained by Eriksson [].

4. Resonance Frequencies and Wave Scattering
4.1. Open Crack
At first, an elastic space with an open crack is considered. Figure 9 shows the variation of the values of real and imaginary parts of the eigenfrequencies with the increase of Poisson’s ratio of elastic space. Markers of larger radius in Figure 9 correspond to larger values of Poisson’s ratio, whereas the eigenfrequencies are given for the first four groups and the first five modes, respectively. One can see that the eigenfrequencies are more or less uniformly distributed along axis (see also Figure 8) and that the larger the larger . The smallest attenuation, which is given as the imaginary part of the eigenfrequency is achieved at for the majority of cases. At the same time, the largest attenuation is usually observed in the vicinity of , and the attenuation decreases with the increase of Poisson’s ratio for . The latter might be related with the sufficient increase of the ratio
between transverse and longitudinal velocities (1) with the increase of Poisson’s ratio if : , and .

Figure 9.
Eigenfrequencies for a circular crack in an elastic space with Poisson ratio .
A similar analysis can also be performed for an open circular crack between two dissimilar materials. The case of dissimilar half-spaces is even more complicated for the analysis due to extra reflection by the interface itself and additional parameters (material properties of the second media) to be taken into account. As an example, Figure 10 shows the eigenfrequencies for a circular crack between dissimilar elastic half-spaces with identical densities () and shear moduli (). In this case, an increase of any of Poisson’s ratios also leads to the increase of the real part of eigenfrequencies . It should be also mentioned that trajectories of do not change their behaviour qualitatively in the case of dissimilar media.

4.2. Partially Closed Delamination
In this subsection, the eigenfrequencies and eigenforms of various circular delaminations are compared and analysed. The values of the first five eigenfrequencies of circular delaminations of the four kinds considered in the study are given in Table 4, Table 5, Table 6 and Table 7. Table 4 and Table 5 demonstrate the eigenfrequencies for identical half-spaces and Table 6 and Table 7 are for dissimilar media. The analysis confirms that the eigenfrequencies of uniformly partially closed delamination are situated further from the real axis compared with an open crack. The more general conclusion is that the larger the average value of spring stiffness in the SBC for delamination, the further the eigenfrequencies from the real axis .

Table 7.

The BIEM can also be employed for determining the resonance response of delaminations at the eigenfrequencies. Thus, Figure 11 exhibit the amplitudes of the non-zero vertical components of the COD corresponding to the resonance regimes of motion at the first five eigenfrequencies given in Table 6 and Table 7 for interface delaminations of the four considered kinds. An interesting conclusion can be made by analysing Figure 11: maximal amplitudes are achieved in the centre of circular delamination for open and bridged cracks, which are characterized by the stress-free boundary conditions in the centre (). On the other hand, the maximum values of the COD for uniformly partially closed and bridged delaminations with () are reached further from the centre of .

Figure 11.
The amplitudes of the non-zero components of the COD corresponding to the resonance regimes of motion at the eigenfrequencies for interface delaminations of four kinds: two half-spaces are made of aluminium and polycarbonate.
To give another example of the BIEM applicability for the solution of the problems of non-destructive evaluation, the amplitudes of the longitudinal and transverse waves scattered by each of the four circular delaminations is depicted in Figure 12. Naturally, an open crack scatters more energy, so the amplitudes of the scattered wave-fields are the largest compared to the three other cases in most of the directions. Nevertheless, scattered transverse waves are larger for a uniformly partially closed delamination and a bridged delamination within sectors and . Such a piece of information might be useful for the damage identification procedure, where the partially closed contact is taken into account.

5. Discussion
The present paper demonstrates that the proposed BIEM is an efficient tool for the eigenfrequencies calculation and classification. The proposed advanced BIEM is more efficient for eigenfrequencies calculation than the meshless method and the finite element method, which demand more computational costs for the system composition and solution as well as eigenfrequencies determination. However, some limitations of the presented advanced BIEM should be also mentioned. At first, the presented BIEM is not suitable for elliptical interface delaminations, which are also often evaluated in practice. Also, the presented method cannot be easily extended for interface circular damages in anisotropic composites.
The authors believe that the proposed advanced BIEM will be useful for damage identification because each delamination has a unique set of the spectral points or resonance frequencies, which can be estimated from experimental data [,]. Besides, the introduction of the SBCs allows to distinguish and identify more kinds of delaminations.
Several extensions with applications in the nondestructive evaluation are also possible. Thus, in the presented BIEM formulation, the Hankel transforms of Green’s matrices are constructed for two-layered media. The procedure can be naturally extended for multi-layered composites, where the SBCs can also be formulated at the internal boundaries, which allows simulating imperfect contact between sub-layers of a laminate due to adhesive degradation []. Another possible extension of the advanced BIEM is an extension for multiple circular delaminations (so-called impact-induced damage). For this purpose, multiple damages might be introduced in a laminate interfaces in the form of a set of delaminations, which will lead to the systems of the boundary integral equations for each delamination.
