Abstract
Considerable efforts have been devoted to the characterization of the strength at the surfaces/interfaces of piezoelectric nanocomposites. In this paper, the multiple scattering of electro-elastic waves from two piezoelectric nano-fibers in piezoelectric matrix is considered and the dynamic stress at the interface is obtained. A decoupling function is introduced to solve the governing equation in piezoelectric materials. The displacement and electric potential are described by a wave function expansion method. The addition theorem for cylindrical wave function is used to obtain the total coupling wave field. The conventional surface/interface model of Gurtin and Murdoch is extended to the case of coupling stress and electric displacement. The dynamic stress concentration factor around two nano-fibers is obtained. Through numerical analysis, it is found that the interaction between the two nano-fibers has a significant effect on the coupling of stress and electric displacement at the interface, especially in the region of high frequency. The interacting effect of the two piezoelectric interfaces is also related to the properties of the nano-fibers and interface. To show the validity of the dynamic model, comparison with existing results is also given.
