Abstract
Piezoelectric materials are widely used in electronic devices like sensors. In this study, a strip saturation zone model is provided for a transversely isotropic piezoelectric plate which is cut along three equal collinear impermeable cracks. The developed saturation zones are assumed to be subjected to the linearly varying electric displacement conditions. The problem is solved using Stroh formalism and the complex variable approach. Analytic closed-form expressions are obtained for fracture parameters including crack opening displacement, crack opening potential, and saturation zone length. A numerical study also presented showing the effect of linearly varying electric displacement on the saturation zone length.
期刊介绍:
Strength, Fracture and Complexity: An International Journal is devoted to solve the strength and fracture unifiedly in non linear and systematised manner as complexity system. An attempt is welcome to challenge to get the clue to a new paradigm or to studies by fusing nano, meso microstructural, continuum and large scaling approach. The concept, theoretical and/or experimental, respectively are/is welcome. On the other hand the presentation of the knowledge-based data for the aims is welcome, being useful for the knowledge-based accumulation. Also, deformation and fracture in geophysics and geotechnology may be another one of interesting subjects, for instance, in relation to earthquake science and engineering.
