Abstract
The electro-elastic problem of a transversely isotropic piezoelectric material with a flat crack occupying the outside of a circle perpendicular to the poling axis is considered in this paper. By using the Hankel transform technique, a mixed boundary value problem associated with the considered problem is solved analytically. The results are presented in closed form both for impermeable crack and for permeable crack. A full field solution is given, i.e., explicit expressions for electro-elastic field at any point in the entire piezoelectric space, as well as field intensity factors near the crack front, are determined. A numerical example for a cracked PZT-5H ceramic is given, and the effects of applied electric fields on elastic and electric behaviors are presented graphically.
