Abstract
The finite element formulation for analyzing static damage near a conducting crack in a thin piezoelectric plate is established from the virtual work principle of piezoelectricity. The damage fields under various mechanical and electrical loads are calculated carefully by using an effective iterative procedure. The numerical results show that all the damage fields around a crack tip are fan-shaped and the electric field applied has great influence on the mechanical damage, which is related to the piezoelectric properties.
