Abstract

In the present paper, the meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method is extended to two-dimensional (2-D) continuously nonhomogeneous piezoelectric solids with cracks under dynamic loading conditions. To eliminate the time-dependence, the Laplace-transform technique is applied to the governing partial differential equations which are satisfied in the Laplace-transformed domain in a weak-form on small fictitious subdomains. A meshless approximation is used for spatial variations of the displacements and the electric potential.
