压电材料反平面III型裂纹电塑性区的分析

本文对反平面III型裂纹电塑性区进行了分析。采用条带模型得到了电塑性区大小的表达式。对于电塑性区的边界条件采用了两种处理方式,一是采用机械位移连续性边界条件,另一种是假设电塑性区的切应力保持为常数的假设。其中后一种处理方式消除了电场和应力在裂纹尖端的奇异性,与实际情况相符合。两种处理方式得到了相同的电塑性区的大小的表达式,并根据两种处理方式计算了能量释放率。类比Irwin的应力松弛模型,本文采用电位移松弛模型同样得到了电塑性区的大小。将条带模型得到的结果与电位移松弛模型得到的结果进行比较发现,在小范围塑性变形条件下,两种方法所得的结果比较接近,从而说明这两种方法的有效性,得到了比较满意的结果。

Fracture analysis of circular-arc interface cracks in piezoelectric materials

The anti-plane problem of N arc-shaped interfacial cracks between a circular piezoelectric inhomogeneity and an infinite piezoelectric matrix is investigated by means of the complex variable method. Cracks are assumed to be permeable and then explicit expressions are presented, respectively, for the electric field on the crack faces, the complex potentials in media and the intensity factors near the crack-tips. As examples, the corresponding solutions are obtained for a piezoelectric bimaterial system with one or two permeable arc-shaped interfacial cracks, respectively. Additionally, the solutions for the cases of impermeable cracks also are given by treating an impermeable crack as a particular case of a permeable crack. It is shown that for the case of permeable interfacial cracks, the electric field is jumpy ahead of the crack tips, and its intensity factor is always dependent on that of stress. Moreover all the field singularities are dependent not only on the applied mechanical load, but also on the applied electric load. However, for the case of a homogeneous material with permeable cracks, all the singular factors are related only to the applied stresses and material constants.     

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     

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.

Green’s functions for anti-plane deformations of a circular arc-crack at the interface of piezoelectric materials

Summary The anti-plane deformation problem of an interfacial debounding crack between a circular piezoelectric inclusion and a piezoelectric matrix is investigated by means of the complex variables method. For a line load applied within the matrix or inside the inclusion, Greens functions are presented for the complex potentials, intensity factors and electric fields on the crack faces, respectively, in closed and explicit form. The solutions are valid for both permeable and impermeable crack models. It is shown that, in the general case of permeable cracks, the electric field singularity is always proportional to the stress singularity.The first author (C.F.Gao) would like to express his gratitude for the support of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (Germany).     

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.

Coupled solution for anisotropic piezoelectric materials with cracks

The coupled elastic and electric fields for anisotropic piezoelectric materials with electrically permeable cracks are analyzed by using Stroh formula in anisotropic elasticity. It is shown from the solution that the tangent component of the electric field strength and the normal component of the electric displacement along the faces of cracks are all constants, and the electric field intensity and electric displacement have the singularity of type (1/2) at the crack tip. The energy release rate for crack propagation depends on both the stress intensity factor and material constants. The electric field intensity and electric displacement inside electrically permeable cracks are all constants.     

Analysis of multiple axisymmetric annular cracks in a piezoelectric medium

An axisymmetric annular electric dislocation is defined. The solution of axisymmetric electric and Volterra climb and glide dislocations in an infinite transversely isotropic piezoelectric domain is obtained by means of Hankel transforms. The distributed dislocation technique is used to construct integral equations for a system of co-axial annular cracks with so-called permeable and impermeable electric boundary conditions on the crack faces where the domain is under axisymmetric electromechanical loading. These equations are solved numerically to obtain dislocation densities on the crack surfaces. The dislocation densities are employed to determine field intensity factors for a system of interacting annular and/or penny-shaped cracks.     

A dielectric crack in a functionally graded piezoelectric layer

Considering the dielectric effects inside a crack, the problem of an electrically dielectric crack in a functionally graded piezoelectric layer is addressed in this paper. The energetically consistent crack-face boundary conditions are utilized to analyze the effects of a dielectric of crack interior. Applying the Fourier transform technique, the boundary-value problem is reduced to solving three coupling singular equations. Then a system of non-linear algebraic equations is obtained and the field intensity factors along with the energy release rate are given. Numerical results show the differences of the electric displacement inside a crack, the stress and electric displacement intensity factors and the energy release rate using the permeable, impermeable, semi-permeable and energetically consistent boundary conditions respectively. The effects of the material non-homogeneity, the applied electric field and the discharge field of crack interior on the electrostatic traction acting on the crack faces and the energy release rate are further studied through the energetically consistent boundary conditions.
