The interaction between a screw dislocation and a piezoelectric fiber composite with a wedge crack

The interaction problem between a screw dislocation and a piezoelectric fiber composite with a semi-infinite wedge crack is investigated in this paper. The piezoelectric media are assumed to be transversely isotropic with the poling direction along the x ₃ direction. The screw dislocation considered here involves a Burgers vector parallel to the poling direction with a line force and a line charge being applied at the core of the dislocation. Both cases of the screw dislocation located at the matrix and inclusion are observed. The analytical derivation is based on the complex variable and the conformal mapping methods. The exact solutions are obtained to calculate the forces on the dislocation and the crack-tip stress and electric displacement intensity factors. Based on these results, the anti-shielding and shielding effects for different loadings, material combinations, and geometric configurations are discussed in detail.     

An improved model of thin cylindrical piezoelectric layers between isotropic elastic media

Radially polarized piezoelectric fibers are now considered to be used in smart composites. The piezoelectric layers in these fibers are generally anisotropic in the transverse direction and therefore difficult to analyze when dynamic loads are involved. The present paper presents a theoretical study of the dynamic behavior of radially polarized cylindrical piezoelectric layers between isotropic elastic media. A new interphase model is developed to provide simple yet accurate evaluation of the dynamic response of such anisotropic elastic layers. Unlike the traditional interface-spring model, the current interphase model satisfies the equations of motion of the layers and can provide reliable prediction of the stress and displacement. A comparison between the developed model, the interface-spring model and the finite element analysis is conducted. The results clearly show the advantages of the current model over the traditional interface-spring model in simulating anisotropic layers. Numerical examples based on this interphase model for different interphase thicknesses, loading frequencies and material combinations are presented to evaluate the dynamic behavior of multilayered elastic media.     

Dynamic anti-plane shear of a cracked piezoelectric ceramic

The dynamic theory of antiplane piezoelectricity is applied to solve the problem of a line crack subjected to horizontally polarized shear waves in an arbitrary direction. The problem is formulated by means of integral transforms and reduced to the solution of a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. The path-independent integral G is extended here to include piezoelectric effects, and is evaluated at the crack tip to obtain the dynamic energy release rate. Numerical calculations are carried out for the dynamic stress intensity factor and energy release rate. The material is piezoelectric ceramic.     

Antiplane stress singularities in a bonded bimaterial piezoelectric wedge

Summary  In this paper, the eigen-equations governing antiplane stress singularities in a bonded piezoelectric wedge are derived analytically. Boundary conditions are set as various combinations of traction-free, clamped, electrically open and electrically closed ones. Application of the Mellin transform to the stress/electric displacement function or displacement/electric potential function and particular boundary and continuity conditions yields identical eigen-equations. All of the analytical results are tabulated. It is found that the singularity orders of a bonded bimaterial piezoelectric wedge may be complex, as opposed to those of the antiplane elastic bonded wedge, which are always real. For a single piezoelectric wedge, the eigen-equations are independent of material constants, and the eigenvalues are all real, except in the case of the combination C–D. In this special case, C–D, the real part of the complex eigenvalues is not dependent on material constants, while the imaginary part is.

Antiplane electro-mechanical field of a piezoelectric finite wedge under shear loading and at fixed-grounded boundary conditions

This paper presents the general solutions of antiplane electro-mechanical field solutions for a piezoelectric finite wedge subjected to a pair of concentrated forces and free charges. The boundary conditions on the circular segment are considered as fixed and grounded. Employing the finite Mellin transform method, the stress and electrical displacement at all fields of the piezoelectric finite wedge are derived analytically. In addition, the singularity orders and intensity factors of stress and electrical displacement can also be obtained. These parameters can be applied to examine the fracture behavior of the wedge structure. After being reduced to the problem of an antiplane edge crack or an infinite wedge in a piezoelectric medium, the results compare well with those of previous studies.     

具有表面效应的压电半空间中的表面波

纳米科技的快速发展使压电纳米结构在纳米机电系统中得到广泛应用,形成了诸如纳米压电电子学等新的研究方向.与传统的宏观压电材料相比,在纳米尺度下压电材料往往呈现出不同的力学特性,而造成这种差异的原因之一便是表面效应.本文基于Stroh公式、Barnett-Lothe积分矩阵及表面阻抗矩阵,研究计入表面效应的任意各向异性压电半空间中的表面波传播问题,导出了频散方程.针对横观各向同性压电材料,假设矢状平面平行于材料各向同性面,发现Rayleigh表面波和B-G波解耦,并得到各自的显式频散方程.结果表明,Rayleigh表面波的波速小于偏振方向垂直于表面的体波,而B-G波的波速小于偏振方向垂直于矢状平面的体波.以PZT-5H材料为例,用数值方法考察表面残余应力和电学边界条件对表面波频散特性的影响发现:表面残余应力只对第一阶Rayleigh波有明显的影响;电学开路情形的B-G波比电学闭路情形的B-G波传播快.本文工作可为纳米表面声波器件的设计或压电纳米结构的无损检测提供理论依据.

Radially polarized functionally graded piezoelectric hollow cylinders as sensors and actuators

An axisymmetric electroelastic problem of hollow radially polarized piezoceramic cylinders made of functionally graded (FG) materials is analyzed. For the material properties of power-law profile, a closed-form solution is derived. For a general gradient variation, an analytic approach is suggested, which reduces the problem to a Fredholm integral equation. Solving the resulting equation, the response of the electroelastic field can be determined. No severe limitation is required for varying material properties in this method. Numerical results of a cylindrical FG piezoelectric tube with PZT-5H as the inner surface ceramic are evaluated, and the distribution of the radial and circumferential stresses as well as the electric potential for piezoelectric sensors and actuators are presented graphically under electric and mechanical stimuli, respectively. Our results indicate that the electroelastic response in an FG piezoceramic tube with material properties decreasing when the radius increases becomes more obvious than that with material properties increasing. Moreover, the gradient index strongly affects the stress distribution and electric response. The obtained results are helpful for the design of annular cylindrical FG piezoelectric sensors/actuators.

Electroelastic analysis of a piezoelectric finite wedge with mixed type boundary conditions under a pair of concentrated shear forces and free charges

The antiplane problem of a piezoelectric finite wedge with mixed type boundary conditions (i.e. traction free-electrically grounded or clamped-electrically insulated) assumed on the circular edge is studied in this paper. Using the first and second kinds of the finite Mellin transforms, the stress and electrical displacement in the piezoelectric finite wedge subjected to a pair of concentrated shear forces and free charges are derived analytically. The singularity orders and all generalized intensity factors can also be obtained. After being reduced to the crack problem, the energy density theory is applied to study the effects of the boundary conditions on the circular edge and the wedge radius on the fracture behaviors of the cracked piezoelectric medium. The problem can be further degenerated to several simple problems and the results agree well with those of previous studies.     

Mixed mode crack initiation in piezoelectric ceramic strip

When piezoelectric ceramics are subjected to mechanical and electrical load, they can fracture prematurely due to their brittle behavior. Hence, it is important to know the electro–elastic interaction and fracture behavior of piezoelectric materials. The problem of a through crack in a piezoelectric strip of finite thickness is studied in this paper. Fourier transforms are used to reduce the problem to the solution of singular integral equations. The model technique can solve for polarization in an arbitrary direction and material anisotropy. Numerical values of the crack-tip field amplification for a piezoelectric strip under in-plane electromechanical loading are obtained. Energy density factor criterion is applied to obtain the maximum of the minimum energy density and direction of crack initiation. The influence of crack length and crack position on stress intensity and energy density factors is discussed.     

A piezoelectric screw dislocation near a wedge-shaped bi-material interface

The electro-elastic stress field due to a piezoelectric screw dislocation near the tip of a wedge-shaped bi-material interface is derived. The screw dislocation is subjected to a line charge and a line force at the core. The explicit closed-form analytical solutions for the stress field are derived by means of the complex variable and conformal mapping methods. The stress and electric intensity factors of the wedge tip induced by the dislocation and the image force acting on the dislocation are also formulated and calculated. The influence of the wedge angle and the different bi-material constant combinations on the image force is discussed. Numerical results for three particular wedge angles are calculated and compared.     

Asymptotic results for slipping complete frictional contacts

The order of singularity at the edge of a complete slipping contact depends on the material combination, the wedge angle, the coefficient of friction, and the relative direction of slip. Additionally, for a given coefficient of friction, slipping in one direction alleviates the stress state whilst slipping in the other direction, exacerbates it. However, it is known that there are material combinations for which the response cited above reverses. This paper investigates the boundary delimiting these different responses, and highlights some useful results.     

THE PERIODIC CRACK PROBLEM IN BONDED PIEZOELECTRIC MATERIALS

The problem of a periodic array of parallel cracks in a homogeneous piezoelectric strip bonded to a functionally graded piezoelectric material is investigated for inhomogeneous continuum.It is assumed that the material inhomogeneity is represented as the spatial varia- tion of the shear modulus in the form of an exponential function along the direction of cracks. The mixed boundary value problem is reduced to a singular integral equation by applying the Fourier transform,and the singular integral equation is solved numerically by using the Gauss- Chebyshev integration technique.Numerical results are obtained to illustrate the variations of the stress intensity factors as a function of the crack periodicity for different values of the material inhomogeneity.     

Mode III fracture problem of a cracked FGPM surface layer bonded to a cracked FGPM substrate

This work deals with the mode III fracture problem of a cracked functionally graded piezoelectric surface layer bonded to a cracked functionally graded piezoelectric substrate. The cracks are normal to the interface and the electro-elastic material properties are assumed to be varied along the crack direction. Potential and flux types of boundary condition are assigned on the edge of the surface layer. The problem under the assumptions of impermeable and permeable cracks can be formulated to the standard singular integral equations, which are solved by using the Gauss–Chebyshev technique. The effects of the boundary conditions, the material properties and crack interaction on the stress and electric displacement intensity factors are discussed.
