Abstract
This paper presents the general solutions of 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 fixed and grounded. Employing the finite Mellin transform method, the stress and electrical displacement at all fields of the piezoelectric finite wedge are derived analytically. In addition, the singularity orders and intensity factors of stress and electrical displacement can also be obtained. These parameters can be applied to examine the fracture behavior of the wedge structure. After being reduced to the problem of an antiplane edge crack or an infinite wedge in a piezoelectric medium, the results compare well with those of previous studies.
