Abstract
We consider a transversely isotropic piezoelectric spheroidal inhomogeneity embedded in an infinite transversely isotropic piezoelectric matrix subjected to a uniform remote axisymmetric electromechanical loading. The inhomogeneity-matrix interface is spring-type in elasticity and weakly conducting in dielectricity. The same degree of interface imperfection in elasticity is realized in both the normal and tangential directions and the interface is characterized by two imperfect interface functions. We identify the two interface functions leading to a uniform interior electroelastic field within the spheroidal inhomogeneity. Explicit expressions for the internal uniform stresses and electric displacement within the inhomogeneity are presented and illustrated. The uniformity property within an imperfectly bonded spheroidal piezoelectric inhomogeneity under a uniform remote antisymmetric electromechanical loading is also proved and illustrated.
期刊介绍:
This interdisciplinary journal provides a forum for presenting new ideas in continuum and quasi-continuum modeling of systems with a large number of degrees of freedom and sufficient complexity to require thermodynamic closure. Major emphasis is placed on papers attempting to bridge the gap between discrete and continuum approaches as well as micro- and macro-scales, by means of homogenization, statistical averaging and other mathematical tools aimed at the judicial elimination of small time and length scales. The journal is particularly interested in contributions focusing on a simultaneous description of complex systems at several disparate scales. Papers presenting and explaining new experimental findings are highly encouraged. The journal welcomes numerical studies aimed at understanding the physical nature of the phenomena.
Potential subjects range from boiling and turbulence to plasticity and earthquakes. Studies of fluids and solids with nonlinear and non-local interactions, multiple fields and multi-scale responses, nontrivial dissipative properties and complex dynamics are expected to have a strong presence in the pages of the journal. An incomplete list of featured topics includes: active solids and liquids, nano-scale effects and molecular structure of materials, singularities in fluid and solid mechanics, polymers, elastomers and liquid crystals, rheology, cavitation and fracture, hysteresis and friction, mechanics of solid and liquid phase transformations, composite, porous and granular media, scaling in statics and dynamics, large scale processes and geomechanics, stochastic aspects of mechanics. The journal would also like to attract papers addressing the very foundations of thermodynamics and kinetics of continuum processes. Of special interest are contributions to the emerging areas of biophysics and biomechanics of cells, bones and tissues leading to new continuum and thermodynamical models.
