Boundary Element Analysis for Piezoelectric Cracks by an Interaction Integral

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, an interaction integral is applied to evaluate the crack-tip field intensity factors for piezoelectric cracks by using BEM. Based on this, the fracture parameters for different crack configurations and loading conditions are analyzed in details for both the center crack and edge crack problem. According to the present results, the path-independent behavior of the interaction integral is verified. The comparison of the I-integral results with those by the J-integral and the displacement interpolating methods shows a good agreement.
