Anisotropic thermopiezoelectric solids with an elliptic inclusion or a hole under uniform heat flow

The two-dimensional problem of a thermopiezoelectric material containing an elliptic inclusion or a hole subjected to a remote uniform heat flow is studied. Based on the extended Lekhnitskii formulation for thermopiezoelectricity, conformal mapping and Laurent series expansion, the explicit and closed-form solutions are obtained both inside and outside the inclusion (or hole). For a hole problem, the exact electric boundary conditions on the hole surface are used. The results show that the electroelastic fields inside the inclusion or the electric field inside the hole are linear functions of the coordinates. When the elliptic hole degenerates into a slit crack, the electroelastic fields and the intensity factors are obtained. The effect of the heat flow direction and the dielectric constant of air inside the crack on the thermal electroelastic fields are discussed. Comparison is made with two special cases of which the closed solutions exist and it is shown that our results are valid.     

Green's function for thermopiezoelectric plates with holes of various shapes

Summary Thermoelectroelastic problems for holes of various shapes embedded in an infinite matrix are considered in this paper. Based on Lekhnitskii's formalism, the technique of conformal mapping and the exact electric boundary conditions on the hole boundary, the thermoelectroelastic Green's function has been obtained analytically in terms of a complex potential. As an application of the proposed function, the problem of an infinite plate containing a crack and a hole is analysed. A system of singular integral equations for the unknown temperature discontinuity and the discontinuity of elastic displacement and electric potential (EDEP) defined on crack faces is developed and solved numerically. Numerical results for stress and electric displacement (SED) intensity factors of the crack-hole system are presented to illustrate the application of the proposed formulation.

The Thermoelectroelastic State of a Transversally Isotropic Piezoceramic Body with a Spheroidal Cavity in a Uniform Heat Flow

A static thermoelectroelastic problem for an infinite transversally isotropic body containing a spheroidal cavity is explicitly solved. The symmetry axis of the spheroid coincides with the anisotropy axis of the body. It is assumed that at a rather large distance from the cavity the body is in a uniform heat flow directed along the anisotropy axis. Formulas are derived for the stress components and the projections of the electric displacement vector near the cavity, which depend on the heat-flow value, cavity geometry, and the thermoelectroelastic properties of the material. The solution of the problem for a body with a disk-like crack is obtained as a partial case from the solution of the problem for a piezoceramic body with a spheroidal cavity. The stress intensity factors for the force and electric fields are determined near the crack     

An exact and explicit treatment of an elliptic hole problem in thermopiezoelectric media

This paper presents an exact solution for the problem of an elliptic hole or a crack in a thermopiezoelectric solid. First, based on the extended version of Eshelby–Stroh's formulation, the generalized 2D problems of an elliptical hole in a thermopiezoelectric medium subject to uniform heat flow and mechanical–electrical loads at infinity are studied according to exact boundary conditions at the rim of the hole. The complex potentials in the medium and the electric field inside the hole are obtained in closed form, respectively. Then, when the hole degenerates into a crack, the explicit solutions for the field intensity factors near the crack tip and the electric field inside the crack are presented. It is shown that the singularities of all the field are dependent on the material constants, the applied heat load and mechanical loads at infinity, but not on the applied electric loads. It is also found that the electric field inside the crack is linearly variable, which is different from the result based on the impermeable crack model.     

Thermally conductive elliptic inhomogeneities in 2D anisotropic solids

The problem of a thermally conductive elliptic hole embedded in an anisotropic thermoelastic solid under a remote uniform heat flow is considered. For the plane problem, solutions are derived by the use of an extended thermoelastic version of the Stroh formalism. The hoop stress around the elliptic hole is obtained in an explicit real form. We analyze the influence of the interior thermal conductivity and the cavity thickness on the temperature and stress on the boundary points of the hole. By comparison with the thermally insulated cavity, we show that the consideration of the interior conductivity may lead to significantly different thermomechanical behaviors.

A new solution for thermopiezoelectric solid with an insulated elliptic hole

A new solution is obtained for thermal analysis of insulated elliptic hole embedded in an infinite thermopiezoelectric plate. In contrast to our previous results, the present formulation is based on the use of exact electric boundary conditions at the rim of the hole, thus avoiding the common assumption of electric impermeability. Using Lekhnitskii's formulation and conformal mapping, the elastic and electric fields can be expressed in a closed form in terms of complex potentials. The solutions for the crack problem are obtained by setting the minor axis of the ellipse approach to zero. As a consequence, the stress and electric displacement (SED) intensity factors and strain energy release rate can be derived analytically. One numerical example is considered to illustrate the application of the proposed formulation and compare with those obtained from impermeable model.

Heat conduction and thermal stress induced by an electric current in an infinite thin plate containing an elliptical hole with an edge crack

A uniform electric current at infinity was applied to a thin infinite conductor containing an elliptical hole with an edge crack. The electric current gives rise to two states, i.e., uniform and uneven Joule heat. These two states must be considered to analyze the heat conduction problem. The uneven Joule heat gives rise to uneven temperature and thus to heat flux, and to thermal stress.Using a rational mapping function, problems of the electric current, the Joule heat, the temperature, the heat flux, the thermal stress are analyzed, and each of their solutions is obtained as a closed form. The distributions of the electric current, the Joule heat, the temperature, the heat flux and the stress are shown in figures.The heat conduction problem is solved as a temperature boundary value problem. Solving the thermal stress problem, dislocation and rotation terms appear, which complicates this problem. The solutions of the Joule heat, the temperature, the heat flux and the thermal stress are nonlinear in the direction of the electric current. The crack problems are also analyzed, and the singular intensities at the crack tip of each problem are obtained. Mode II (sliding mode) stress intensity factor (SIF) is produced as well as Mode I (opening mode) SIF, for any direction of the electric current. The relations between the electric current density and the melting temperature and between the electric current density and SIF are investigated for some crack lengths in an aluminum plate.

The behavior of two non-symmetrical permeable cracks emanating from an elliptical hole in a piezoelectric solid

Based on the Stroh-type formalism, we present a concise analytic method to solve the problem of complicated defects in piezoelectric materials. Using this method and the technique of conformal mapping, the problem of two non-symmetrical collinear cracks emanating from an elliptical hole in a piezoelectric solid is investigated under remotely uniform in-plane electric loading and anti-plane mechanical loading. The exact solutions of the field intensity factors and the energy release rate are presented in closed-form under the permeable electric boundary condition. With the variation of the geometrical parameters, the present results can be reduced to the well-known results of a mode-III crack in piezoelectric materials. Moreover, new special models used for simulating more practical defects in a piezoelectric solid are obtained, such as two symmetrical edge cracks and single edge crack emanating from an elliptical hole or circular hole, T-shaped crack, cross-shaped crack, and semi-infinite plane with an edge crack. Numerical results are then presented to reveal the effects of geometrical parameters and the applied mechanical loading on the field intensity factors and the energy release rate.     

ANALYTICAL SOLUTIONS TO STRESS CONCENTRATION PROBLEM IN PLATES CONTAINING RECTANGULAR HOLE UNDER BIAXIAL TENSIONS

The stress concentration problem in structures with a circular or elliptic hole can be investigated by analytical methods. For the problem with a rectangular hole, only approximate results are derived. This paper deduces the analytical solutions to the stress concentration problem in plates with a rectangular hole under biaxial tensions. By using the U-transformation technique and the finite element method, the analytical displacement solutions of the finite element equations are derived in the series form. Therefore, the stress concentration can then be discussed easily and conveniently. For plate problem the bilinear rectangular element with four nodes is taken as an example to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method. The stress concentration factors for various ratios of height to width of the hole are obtained.

Green function and its application for a piezoelectric plate with various openings

Summary For a two-dimensional piezoelectric plate subjected to mechanical and electric load, a Green function satisfying traction free and exact electric boundary conditions along a hole is developed using Lekhnitskii's formalism and the technique of conformal mapping. The critical points for the mapping function used is investigated numerically, and the study indicates that the transformation of a polygonal hole in a piezoelectric plate into a unit circle is nonsingle-valued. A simple approach is presented to treat such a situation. Based on the Green function developed in this paper, a system of singular integral equations for the unknown dislocation defined on crack faces is presented to study the interaction between cracks and holes. Numerical results are presented to elucidate the effects of crack orientation on stress and electric displacement (SED) intensity factors and to illustrate the application of the proposed formulation.
