Abstract
A time-domain boundary element method (TDBEM) for transient dynamic analysis of two-dimensional (2D), homogeneous, anisotropic and linear piezoelectric cracked solids is presented in this paper. The present analysis uses a combination of the strongly singular displacement boundary integral equations (BIEs) and the hypersingular traction boundary integral equations. The spatial discretization is performed by a Galerkin-method, while a collocation method is implemented for the temporal discretization. Both temporal and spatial integrations are carried out analytically. In this way, only the line integrals over a unit circle arising in the time-domain fundamental solutions are computed numerically by standard Gaussian quadrature. An explicit time-stepping scheme is developed to compute the unknown boundary data including the generalized crack-opening-displacements (CODs) numerically. Special crack-tip elements are adopted to ensure a direct and an accurate computation of the dynamic field intensity factors (IFs) from the CODs. Several numerical examples involving stationary cracks in both infinite and finite solids under impact loading are presented to show the accuracy and the efficiency of the developed hypersingular time-domain BEM.
