Effect of Voids on a Magistral Crack in Piezoelectric Brittle Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

A large (magistral) crack is analyzed in a voided piezoelectric solid. The representative volume element (RVE) is analyzed for determination of influence of voids on material properties. The whole domain is divided into two subdomains. At the crack tip vicinity it is considered a subdomain with the crack tip and circular voids. Material properties correspond to the piezoelectric skeleton there. The rest part of analyzed domain is modeled by effective material properties obtained from analyses on the RVE. The scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) is applied to solve all boundary value problems.
