Abstract

Aim of this study isto propose, to develop, to validate and to applyin intensive simulations an efficient non-hypersingular traction boundary integral equation method (BIEM) for the solution of anti-plane dynamic problems of piezoelectric solids with cracks or/and holes. The modelling approach is in the frame of continuum mechanics, wave propagation and linear fracture mechanics. The simulations reveal the dependenceof the stress concentration factor(SCF) and the stress intensity factor (SIF) ontheelectromechanical coupling,onthe type and characteristics of the dynamic load, onthematerialparameters and on the geometry of the defects.
