Fracture Mechanics of Piezoelectric Solids with Interface Cracks - 83

This title provides a comprehensive study of cracks situated at the interface of two piezoelectric materials.

It discusses different electric boundary conditions along the crack faces, in particular the cases of electrically permeable, impermeable, partially permeable, and conducting cracks.

The book also elaborates on a new technique for the determination of electromechanical fields at the tips of interface cracks in finite sized piezoceramic bodies of arbitrary shape under different load types.
