Abstract
In this paper, the scattering of SH waves by a magneto-electro-elastic cylindrical inclusion partially debonded from its surrounding magneto-electro-elastic material is investigated by using the wavefunction expansion method and a singular integral equation technique. The debonding regions are modeled as multiple arc-shaped interface cracks with non-contacting faces. The magneto-electric impermeable boundary conditions are adopted. By expressing the scattered fields as wavefunction expansions with unknown coefficients, the mixed boundary-value problem is firstly reduced to a set of simultaneous dual-series equations. Then, dislocation density functions are introduced as unknowns to transform these dual-series equations to Cauchy singular integral equations of the first type,which can be numerically solved easily. The solution is valid for arbitrary number and size of the arc-shaped interface cracks. Finally, numerical results of the dynamic stress intensity factors are presented for the cases of one debond. The effects of incident direction, crack configuration and various material parameters on the dynamic stress intensity factors are discussed. The solution of this problem is expected to have applications in the investigation of dynamic fracture properties of magneto-electro-elastic materials with cracks.
