Anti-plane shear fracture of the interface in a cylindrical smart structure with functionally graded magnetoelectroelastic properties

摘要

The purpose of the present work is to study the fracture behavior of the arc-shaped interface in a cylindrical non-homogeneous magnetoelectroelastic structure. Fracture analysis is performed by the method of Cauchy singular integral equation. Parametric studies are conducted on the stress intensity factor, and practical guidelines are given for the optimization of fracture performance. (a) The ratio between the outer and inner radii should be at least 1.1. (b) A softer inner side plus a stiffer outer side is a good non-homogeneity design for the magnetoelectroelastic layer. (c) A soft central cylinder and a stiff outer magnetoelectroelastic layer constitute a good stiffness matching on the interface.
