Dynamic Crack Analysis in Layered Piezoelectric Composites under Time-Harmonic Loading

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this Paper, Time-Harmonic Dynamic Crack Analysis in Two-Dimensional (2D), Layered and Linear Piezoelectric Composites is Presented. A Frequency-Domain Symmetric Galerkin Boundary Element Method (SGBEM) is Developed for this Purpose. the Piecewise Homogeneous Sub-Layers of the Piezoelectric Composites are Modeled by the Multi-Domain BEM Formulation. the Frequency-Domain Dynamic Fundamental Solutions for Linear Piezoelectric Materials are Applied in the Present BEM. the Boundary Integral Equations are Solved Numerically by a Galerkin-Method Using Quadratic Elements. an Iterative Solution Algorithm is Implemented to Consider the Non-Linear Semi-Permeable Electrical Crack-Face Boundary Conditions. Numerical Examples will be Presented and Discussed to Show the Influences of the Location and Size of the Crack, the Material Combination of the Sub-Layers, the Piezoelectric Effect and the Time-Harmonic Dynamic Loading on the Dynamic Intensity Factors.
