Singular integral based closed-form solutions for modified EMPS models in semipermeable magneto-electro-elastic materials

Abstract

The singular integral equation method is applied to present analytical solutions for modified electric-magnetic-polarization saturation (EMPS) models subjected to semipermeable center cracked magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) materials. A generalized methodology is presented to explicitly solve the EMPS model under any arbitrary saturated electric and magnetic conditions using the distributed dislocation method (DDM) and finding the analytical solutions for developed singular integral equations. The explicit expressions are derived for distributed dislocation densities, crack opening displacement (COD), crack opening potential (COP), crack opening induction (COI), saturated zone lengths, and local stress intensity factor (LSIF) for particular cases of the generalized EMPS model such as constant, linear, quadratic and cubic polynomial varying saturated electric and magnetic conditions. Using an iterative scheme and the explicit solutions of COD, COP, and COI, the exact semipermeable crack-face conditions are evaluated at the center of the crack, and the same applies throughout the crack-surface for the study of semipermeable modified EMPS models. A comparative analysis of the fracture parameters has also been carried out between the results of exact semipermeable crack-face conditions and the results of semipermeable crack-face conditions of the center crack problem to analyze the impact of polynomial varying saturated conditions on the crack-face conditions. Numerical studies performed under different electromagnetic-mechanical loadings, volume fractions, and crack-face conditions demonstrate the increasing effects in the fracture parameters' values with the degree of the polynomial varying saturated conditions.
