A flat annular interfacial crack between dissimilar magnetoelectroelastic layers subjected to magnetoelectroelastic loads is investigated under the boundary condition of magnetoelectrically impermeability on the crack surface. Using the Hankel transform technique, the mixed boundary value problem is reduced to a system of singular integral equations. The integral equations are further reduced to a system of algebraic equations with the aid of Jacobi polynomials. The field intensity factor and energy release rate are determined. Numerical results reveal the effects of electric or magnetic loadings and material parameters of composites on crack propagation and growth. The results seem useful for the design of magnetoelectroelastic composite structures and devices of high performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
