Abstract
Having completed the general formulation for temperature, heat flow, displacement, electric potential and displacements and mechanical stresses of a piezoelectric material as presented in part I of this work, part II is concerned with a generalized self-consistent approximate method for determining the thermoelectroelastic properties of piezoelectric materials weakened by microcracks. A representative area element is adopted; it contains a microcrack surrounded by an elliptic matrix in a solid with effective properties. Numerical results are given for a piezoelectric BatiO 3 ceramic. The effective conductivity and effective modulus are found to decrease with increasing crack density.
