Abstract: | An interface crack of a finite length moving with a constant subsonic speed v along an interface of two semi-infinite piezoelectric spaces is considered. It is assumed that the bimaterial compound is loaded by a remote mixed mode mechanical loading and a thermoelectrical field and that a frictionless contact zone arises at the leading crack tip. Electrically permeable and electrically insulated cases of the open part of the crack are involved into the consideration. By introducing a moving coordinate system at the crack tip the problem is reduced to a combined Dirichlet–Riemann boundary value problem which is solved exactly. For both cases of the electrical conditions the transcendental equations are obtained for the determination of the real contact zone length, and moreover, the associated closed form asymptotic formulas are found for small values of this parameter. Variations of the contact zone length and the stress intensity factor with respect to the crack speed and the loading have been investigated both for electrically permeable and electrically insulated cases. |
