热压电介质中的渗透型周期裂纹问题

利用Stroh公式,研究了含共线周期裂纹热的压电介质的广义二维问题。该工作有两个特征：一是裂纹被建模为具有渗透表面的缝隙,并假设为跨越上下表面时,电场的切向分量和电位移的法向分量是连续的;另一个特征是,机－电载荷和热载荷被假设作用在无限远处,而不是在裂纹表面。基于这两个假设,我们获得了有关场强因子,以及裂纹内电场的相当简洁的表达式。结果表明：①在裂纹内电场是线性变化的,②电位移的奇异性总是取决于应力的奇异性.③所有场的奇异性与所加的电载荷无关。     

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.     

Generalized 2D problem of piezoelectric media containing collinear cracks

The generalized 2D problem in piezoelectric media with collinear cracks is addressed based on Stroh's formulation and the exact electric boundary conditions on the crack faces. Exact solutions are obtained, respectively, for two special cases: one is that a piezoelectric solid withN collinear cracks is subjected to uniform loads at infinity, and the other is that a piezoelectric solid containing a single crack is subjected to a line load at an arbitrary point. It is shown when uniform loads are applied at infinity or on the crack faces that, the stress intensity factors are the same as those of isotropic materials, while the intensity factor of electric displacement is dependent on the material constants and the applied mechanical loads, but not on the applied electric loads. Moreover, it is found that the electric field inside any crack is not equal to zero, which is related to the material properties and applied mechanical-electric loads.

General treatment of mode III interfacial crack problems in piezoelectric materials

Summary  The anti-plane problem of N collinear interfacial cracks between dissimilar transversely isotropic piezoelectric media, which are subjected to piecewise uniform out-of-plane mechanical loading combined with in-plane electric loading at infinity, and also a line loading at an arbitrary point, is addressed by using the complex function method. In comparison with other relevant works, the present study has two features: one is that the analysis is based on the permeable crack model, i.e. the cracks are considered as permeable thin slits, and, thus, both the normal component of electric displacement and the tangential component of electric field are assumed to be continuous across these slits. The other feature is that explicit closed-form solutions are given not only in piezoelectric media, but also inside cracks when the media are subjected to the most general loading. It is shown that the singularities of electric displacement and electric field in the media are always dependent on that of stress for the general case of loading, and all the singularities of field variables are independent of the applied uniform electric loads at infinity. For the interfacial cracks the electric field is square-root singular at the crack tips and shows jumps across the interface, while the normal component of the electric field is linearly variable inside the crack, but the tangential component is square-root singular. However, for a homogeneous medium with collinear cracks, the electric field is always nonsingular in the medium while the electric displacement exhibits square-root singularity. Moreover, in this case, the electric field inside any crack is equal to a constant when uniform loads are applied at infinity. Received 22 November 1999; accepted for publication 20 July 2000     

Exact solutions for the plane problem in piezoelectric materials with an elliptic or a crack

Based on the complex potential approach, the two-dimensional problems in a piezoelectric material containing an elliptic hole subjected to uniform remote loads are studied. The explicit, closed-form solutions satisfying the exact electric boundary condition on the hole surface are given both inside and outside the hole. When the elliptic hole degenerates into a crack, the field intensity factors are obtained. It is shown that the stress intensity factors are the same as that of isotropic material, while the electric displacement intensity factor depends on both the material properties and the mechanical loads, but not on the electric loads. In other words, the uniform electric loads have no influence on the field singularities. It is also shown that the impermeable crack assumption used previously to simply the electric condition is not valid to crack problems in piezoelectric materials.     

Fracture analysis of electromagnetic thermoelastic solids

This paper analyzes the problem of collinear permeable cracks in a magnetoelectroelastic solid subjected to uniform heat flow at infinity. The analysis is conducted according to the extended Stroh formalism. Concise expressions are given for the field intensity factors and the electric–magnetic field inside cracks. It is shown that all the field singularities are independent of the applied electric–magnetic loads, and the electric–magnetic field inside cracks is linearly variable with position along the crack line.

The mode III cracks originating from the edge of a circular hole in a piezoelectric solid

A mode III fracture problem of edge cracks originating from a circular hole in an infinite piezoelectric solid is studied based on complex variable method combined with the method of conformal mapping. Explicit and exact expressions for the complex potentials, field intensity factors and energy release rates are presented under the assumption that the surface of the cracks and hole is electrically impermeable. Numerical analysis is then conducted to discuss the influences of crack length and applied mechanical/electric loads on the field intensity factors and energy release rate for one and two edge cracks, respectively. It is found that for the case of a single edge crack, the field intensity factors are greater than those of double edge cracks, and moreover the electric loads can either promote or retard crack growth, depending on the magnitude and direction of the applied electric loads.

Effect of Maxwell stress on a moving crack with polarization saturation region in ferroelectric solid

The focus of this work is on a generalized two-dimensional problem of a crack moving in a piezoelectric solid subjected to uniform electrical load at infinity. The novel point includes that the electric field inside the crack is taken into account when polarization saturation region exists. Based on the extended Stroh formalism and complex function method, explicit expressions of both the stress fields in the solid and electric fields inside the crack are derived by using semi-permeable crack model, respectively. Effect of Maxwell stress along the crack surface is investigated and the results are illustrated graphically. It is shown that the moving speed of the crack cannot exceed the lowest bulk wave speed. It is also found that the medium properties inside the crack and surrounding the ferroelectric solid at infinity directly affect the Maxwell stress, and as a result the Maxwell stresses are remarkable and cannot be ignored under different electric load.     

Analysis of electric boundary condition effects on crack propagation in piezoelectric ceramics

There are three types of cracks: impermeable crack, permeable crack and conducting crack, with different electric boundary conditions on faces of cracks in piezoelectric ceramics, which poses difficulties in the analysis of piezoelectric fracture problems. In this paper, in contrast to our previous FEM formulation, the numerical analysis is based on the used of exact electric boundary conditions at the crack faces, thus the common assumption of electric impermeability in the FEM analysis is avoided. The crack behavior and elasto-electric fields near a crack tip in a PZT-5 piezoelectric ceramic under mechanical, electrical and coupled mechanical-electrical loads with different electric boundary conditions on crack faces are investigated. It is found that the dielectric medium between the crack faces will reduce the singularity of stress and electric displacement. Furthermore, when the permittivity of the dielectric medium in the crack gap is of the same order as that of the piezoelectric ceramic, the crack becomes a conducting crack, the applied electric field has no effect on the crack propagation.

压电压磁复合材料中正六边形孔边裂纹的反平面断裂问题

基于线性磁电弹性理论,利用Schwarz-Christoffel(CS)变换技术和Stroth公式,首次系统研究了压电压磁复合材料中含带两个不对称裂纹的正六边形孔口问题在部分渗透磁电边界条件下的解析解.当忽略磁场时,磁电非渗透裂纹和磁电渗透裂纹两种极端情况下的解析解答可退化为文献已有研究结果.数值结果揭示了正六边形孔口尺寸、裂纹长度以及力电载荷和磁载荷对能量释放率的影响规律.研究结果表明：减小孔口边长和裂纹长度可以提高材料的可靠性;机械载荷总是促进裂纹扩展;在磁电非渗透和磁电部分渗透边界条件下,负电场和负磁场会延缓裂纹的扩展,而正电场可以增强或阻碍裂纹的扩展,这取决于所施加的电场和磁场的强度以及机械载荷的水平;在磁电渗透边界条件下,电场和磁场对裂纹的扩展没有影响.     

Periodic set of limited electrically permeable interface cracks with contact zones

Plane problem for an infinite space composed of two different piezoelectric or piezoelectric/dielectric semi-infinite spaces with a periodic set of limited electrically permeable interface cracks is considered. Uniformly distributed electromechanical loading is applied at infinity. The frictionless contact zones at the crack tips are taken into account. The problem is reduced to the combined Dirichlet–Riemann boundary value problem by means of the electromechanical factors presentation via sectionally analytic functions, assuming that the electric flux is uniformly distributed inside the cracks. An exact solution of the problem is proposed. It permits to find in a closed form all necessary electromechanical characteristics at the interface and to formulate the equation for the determination of the electric flux value. Analysis of this equation confirms the correctness of the assumption concerning the uniform distribution of the electric flux in the crack region.Formulae for stresses, electric displacement vector, elastic displacements and electric potential jump at the interface as well as the intensity factors at the crack tips are given. Equation for the contact zone length determination is presented. Calculations for certain material combinations are carried out. The influence of electric permeability of cracks on electromechanical fields and the fracture mechanical parameters is analyzed.

Fracture mechanics for a mode III crack in a magnetoelectroelastic solid

In this paper, we developed a Stroh-type formalism for anti-plane deformation and then investigated the fracture mechanics for an elliptical cavity in a magnetoelectroelastic solid under remotely uniform in-plane electromagnetic and/or anti-plane mechanical loading, which allowed us to take the electromagnetic field inside the cavity into account. Reducing the cavity into a crack, we had explicit solutions in closed forms for a mode III crack, which included the extreme cases for an impermeable crack and a permeable crack. The results were illustrated with plots, showing that in the absence of mechanical loads, an applied electric or magnetic field, positive or negative, always tended to close the crack. On the other hand, in the presence of a mechanical load, a negative electric or magnetic field retarded crack growth, while a positive field could either enhance or retard crack propagation, depending on the strengths of the applied electric/magnetic fields and the level of the mechanical load as well. In other words, the effect of electric/magnetic fields on the fracture behavior is mechanical load-dependent.     

A closed crack tip model for interface cracks inthermopiezoelectric materials

The interface crack problem of a bimaterial thermopiezoelectric solid was treated byapplying the extended version of Strohs formalism and singular integral equation approach. Theinterface crack considered is subjected to combined thermal, mechanical and electric loads.Under the applied loading, the interface crack is assumed to be partially opened. Formulation ofthe problem results in a set of singular integral equations which are solved numerically. Thestudy shows that the contact zone is extremely small in comparison with the crack length. Basedon the formulation, some physically meaningful quantities of interest such as stress intensityfactors and size of contact zone for a particular material group are analyzed.     

Anti-plane analysis of semi-infinite crack in piezoelectric strip

Using the complex variable function method and the technique of the conformal mapping, the fracture problem of a semi-infinite crack in a piezoelectric strip is studied under the anti-plane shear stress and the in-plane electric load. The analytic solutions of the field intensity factors and the mechanical strain energy release rate are presented under the assumption that the surface of the crack is electrically impermeable. When the height of the strip tends to infinity, the analytic solutions of an infinitely large piezoelectric solid with a semi-infinite crack are obtained. Moreover, the present results can be reduced to the well-known solutions for a purely elastic material in the absence of the electric loading. In addition, numerical examples are given to show the influences of the loaded crack length, the height of the strip, and the applied mechanical/electric loads on the mechanical strain energy release rate.
