In this paper, a method to calculate the dynamic stress concentration around the triangular defect of piezoelectric material under electroelastic coupling is studied and applied to the promising barium calcium zirconate titanate. Firstly, the electroelastic governing equation is decomposed by decoupling technique, and the analytical solutions of elastic wave field and electric field are obtained by wave function expansion method. Then, the conformal transformation is used to simplify the triangle boundary into a circular boundary, and the corresponding modal coefficients are determined according to the simplified boundary conditions. Finally, the analytical solution of the dynamic stress concentration factor can be obtained according to the constitutive equation. Substitute the relevant material parameters of (Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3 and set different temperatures, Ce doping amount, and incident wave number for numerical simulation. The numerical results show that the incident wave number, piezoelectric properties, and the shape parameters and deflection angle of the triangular defect have a great influence on the dynamic stress around the defect, and some meaningful laws are summarized through analysis.

Based on the magnetoacoustic coupled dynamics theory, the wave function expansion method is used to solve the problem of acoustic wave scattering and dynamic stress concentration around the two openings in e-type piezomagnetic composites. To deal with the multiple scattering between openings, the local coordinate method is introduced. The general analytical solution to the problem and the expression of the dynamic stress concentration are derived. As an example, the numerical results of the dynamic stress distribution around two openings with equal diameters are given. The effects of the parameters, such as the incident wave number and the spacing between the openings, on the dynamic stress concentration factor are analyzed.

Sodium bismuth titanate (Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3, BNT) has attracted much attention because of its excellent dielectric, piezoelectric and electromechanical properties. The microstructure of sodium bismuth titanate-doped ferrum niobium material (Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 doped (Fe0.5Nb0.5)4+, BNT-xFN) shows a triangle as its typical defect shape. Since piezoelectric devices usually operate under dynamic loads, they fail easily owing to dynamic stress concentration or dynamic fracture. Elastic waves can simulate many types of dynamic loads, and the dynamic stress concentration caused by an anti-plane shear wave is the basis for the calculation of the stress field strength factor of type Ⅲ-dynamic fractures. In this study, the electroelastic coupled-wave diffraction and dynamic stress concentration of BNT-xFN materials with triangular defects under the incidence of anti-plane shear waves were studied. Maxwell equations are decoupled by auxiliary functions, and the analytical solutions of the elastic wave field and electric field are obtained. Based on the conformal mapping method, the triangle defect was mapped to the unit circle defect, and the dynamic stress concentration coefficient around the triangle defect was obtained by calculating the undetermined mode coefficients in the expression through boundary conditions. The numerical calculation shows that the size of the triangular hole, the frequency of the applied mechanical load, the incidence angle of mechanical load and the amount of FN doping have a great influence on the stress concentration of BNT-xFN materials.

Based on the theory of magnetoacoustic coupled dynamics, the purpose of this paper is to evaluate the dynamic stress concentration near an elliptical opening in exponential-gradient piezomagnetic materials under the action of antiplane shear waves. By the wave function expansion, the solutions for the acoustic wave fields and magnetic fields can be obtained. Stress analysis is performed by the complex function method and the conformal mapping method, which are used to solve the boundary conditions problem, and is used to express the dynamic stress concentration coefficient (DSCC) theoretically. As cases, numerical results of DSCCs are plotted and discussed with different incident wave numbers and material parameters by numerical simulation. Compared with circular openings, elliptical openings are widely used in material processing techniques and are more difficult to solve. Numerical results show that the dynamic stress concentration coefficient at the elliptical opening is strongly dependent on various parameters, which indicates that the elliptical opening is more likely to cause crack and damage to exponential-gradient piezomagnetic materials.

In this paper, the calculation method of dynamic stress concentration around piezoelectric ceramics containing regular n-sided holes under the action of electroelastic coupling wave was studied, and it was applied to promising barium calcium zirconate titanate material. First, electroelastic governing equations were decomposed by using the auxiliary function method, and the solution forms of the elastic wave field and electric field were obtained by using the wave function expansion method. Then, the triangular boundary was simplified to a circular boundary using the mapping function, and the corresponding modal coefficients were determined according to simplified boundary conditions. Finally, the dynamic stress-concentration factor was calculated to characterize the dynamic stress concentration. We performed numerical simulations with a correlation coefficient of (1 − x)[(Ba0.94Ca0.06) (Ti0.92Sn0.08)]-xSm2O3-0.06 mol% GeO2 (abbreviated as (1 − x)BCTS-xSm-0.06G). The numerical calculation results show that the incident wave number, piezoelectric properties, shape parameters of the hole, and deflection angle have a great influence on the dynamic stress around the defect, and some significant laws are summarized through analysis.
