This paper is concerned with the electro-elastic analysis of a conducting rigid line inclusion at the interface of two bonded piezoelectric materials. By combining the analytic function theory and the Stroh formalism, we were able to obtain closed-form expressions for the field variables. Both the mechanical stresses and the electric displacement are shown to have at least one of the following behaviors: (i) traditional square root singularity; (ii) nonsquare root singularity; and (iii) oscillatory singularity, which depend upon the electro-elastic mismatch at the interface. By using the static equilibrium conditions, the rigid rotation vector of the inclusion is determined and the extended stress singularity factors (ESSF) are evaluated.
