Abstract

In this paper, dynamic stress concentrations are studied in an infinite piezoelectric medium with a non-circular cavity under time harmonic incident anti-plane shear wave and inplane electric field. Based on complex variable and conformal mapping method, the dynamic stress concentration factors and the electric field concentration factors at the boundary of the non-circular cavity are obtained by applying the orthogonal function expansion technique. Numerical examples about an infinite piezoelectric medium with an elliptic cavity are provided with different elliptic axial length ratios, different wave numbers and different piezoelectric characteristic parameters. The calculating results show that dynamic analyses are very important to an infinite piezoelectric medium with a non-circular cavity at lower frequencies and larger piezoelectric characteristic parameters.
