Abstract

Magnetoelectroelastic materials are inherently brittle and prone to fracture. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the fracture behavior of these advanced materials. In this paper, a periodic array of cracks in a transversely isotropic magnetoelectroelastic material is investigated. Hankel transform is applied to solve elastic displacements, electric potential and magnetic potential. The problem is reduced into a system of integral equations. Both impermeable and permeable crack-face electromagnetic boundary conditions assumptions are investigated. Quantities of the stress, electric displacement and magnetic induction and their intensity factor are obtained. Effect of the crack spacing on these quantities is investigated in details.
