A penny-shaped interfacial crack between dissimilar magnetoelectroelastic layers subjected to magnetoelectromechanical loads is investigated,where the magnetoelectrically impermeable crack surface condition is adopted. By using Hankel transform technique,the mixed boundary value problem is firstly reduced to a system of singular integral equations,which are further reduced to a system of algebraic equations. The field intensity factors and energy release rate are finally derived. Numerical results elucidate the eects of crack configuration,electric and/or magnetic loads,and material parameters of the magnetoelectroelastic layers on crack propagation and growth. This work should be useful for the design of magnetoelectroelastic composite structures.
This paper analyzes the dynamic magnetoelectroelastic behavior induced by a pennyshaped crack in a magnetoelectroelastic layer. The crack surfaces are subjected to only radial shear impact loading. The Laplace and Hankel transform techniques are employed to reduce the problem to solving a Fredholm integral equation. The dynamic stress intensity factor is obtained and numerically calculated for different layer heights. And the corresponding static solution is given by simple analysis. It is seen that the dynamic stress intensity factor for cracks in a magnetoelectroelastic layer has the same expression as that in a purely elastic material. And the influences of layer height on both the dynamic and static stress intensity factors are insignificant as h/a 〉 2.
A novel extended traction boundary element-free method is proposed to analyze the crack problems of two-dimensional infinite magnetoelectroelastic solid.An extended traction boundary integral equation only involving Cauchy singularity is firstly derived.Then,the extended dislocation densities on the crack surface are expressed as the combination of a characteristic term and unknown weight functions,and the radial point interpolation method is adopted to approximate the unknown weight functions.The numerical scheme of the extended traction boundary element-free method is further established,and an effective numerical procedure is used to evaluate the Cauchy singular integrals.Finally,the stress intensity factor,electric displacement intensity factor and magnetic induction intensity factor are computed for some selected crack problems that contain straight,curved and branched cracks,and good numerical results are obtained.At the same time,the fracture properties of these crack problems are discussed.
