Abstract: An accurate and straightforward symplectic method is presented for the fracture analysis of fractional two-dimensional (2D) viscoelastic media. The fractional Kelvin-Zener constitutive model is used to describe the time-dependent behavior of viscoelastic materials. Within the framework of symplectic elasticity, the governing equations in the Hamiltonian form for the frequency domain (s-domain) can be directly and rigorously calculated. In the s-domain, the analytical solutions of the displacement and stress fields are constructed by superposing the symplectic eigensolutions without any trial function, and the explicit expressions of the intensity factors and J-integral are derived simultaneously. Comparison studies are provided to validate the accuracy and effectiveness of the present solutions. A detailed analysis is made to reveal the effects of viscoelastic parameters and applied loads on the intensity factors and J-integral.

Key words: symplectic approach, viscoelastic material, fractional Kelvin-Zener model, crack, fracture parameter
