Abstract

This paper presents general antiplane electro‐mechanical field solutions for a piezoelectric finite wedge subjected to a pair of concentrated forces and free charges. The boundary conditions on the circular segment are considered as traction free and insulated. Using finite Mellin transform methods, the stress and electrical displacement in all fields of the piezoelectric finite wedge are derived analytically. Singularity orders and intensity factors of stress and electrical displacement can be obtained too. After being reduced to a problem of an antiplane edge crack or an infinite wedge in a piezoelectric medium, the results compare well with those of previous studies.
