Abstract
|
We study the interaction between an Eshelby inclusion of arbitrary shape and a
circular piezoelectric inhomogeneity penetrated by a semi-infinite crack under
antiplane mechanical and in-plane electrical loading in a linear piezoelectric solid.
The Eshelby inclusion undergoes uniform antiplane eigenstrains and in-plane
eigenelectric fields. Through the use of a conformal mapping, the cracked
piezoelectric plane is first mapped onto the lower half of the image plane. The
corresponding boundary value problem is then studied in this image plane. The
interaction problem is solved through the construction of an auxiliary function and
the application of analytic continuation across straight and circular boundaries. We
obtain concise expressions for the resultant stress and electric displacement intensity
factors at the crack tip.
