Analysis of three collinear antiplane interfacial cracks in dissimilar piezoelectric materials under non-self equilibrated electromechanical loadings on a center crack

摘要

The problem of three collinear interfacial cracks between two dissimilar transversely isotropic piezoelectric materials is considered under electromechanical loadings. The crack surfaces are assumed to be impermeable to the electric field. A single antiplane mechanical and inplane electrical loads are applied at a point on centred crack surface. The problem is formulated by the complex function method, and reduced to the vector Hilbert problem. By solving the problem, a closed form solution for the stress intensity and electric displacement intensity factor is obtained. This solution can be used as a Green's function for different loading conditions.
