Abstract

This paper presents an exact closed-form solution for the Eshelby problem of a polygonal inclusion with graded eigenstrains in an anisotropic piezoelectric half plane with traction-free on its surface. Using the line-source Green’s function, the line integral is carried out analytically for the linear eigenstrain case, with the final expression involving only elementary functions. The solutions are applied to the semiconductor quantum wire (QWR) of square, triangular, and rectangular shapes, with results clearly illustrating various influencing factors on the induced fields. The exact closed-form solution should be useful to the analysis of nanoscale QWR structures where large strain and electric fields could be induced by the non-uniform misfit strain.
