The Non-Local Theory Solution of a Crack in the Functionally Graded Piezoelectric Materials Subjected to the Harmonic Anti-Plane Shear Stress Waves

Abstract:

In this paper, the non-local theory of elasticity was applied to obtain the dynamic behavior of a Griffith crack in functionally graded piezoelectric materials under the harmonic anti-plane shear stress waves. The problem can be solved with the help of a pair of dual integral equations. Unlike the classical elasticity solutions, it is found that no stress and electric displacement singularities are present at the crack tips, thus allows us to use the maximum stress as a fracture criterion.
