Abstract
A strip-saturation model is studied to observe the effect of changing polarization axis on an electro-elastic strip, weakened by an eccentrically situated anti-plane semipermeable crack. The model is modified by considering that the saturated limit of electric displacement over rims of the saturation zone is quadratic interpolating polynomial times. The proposed model is formulated and then solved by using the Fourier integral transform technique and integral equations method. Closed-form analytic expressions are derived for developed saturation zone and fracture parameters viz. electric crack condition parameter, crack-sliding displacement, crack-opening potential drop, field intensity factors, energy release rate, etc. The influence of poling angle, prescribed electro-mechanical loadings, crack length, and material constants on fracture parameters are presented and analyzed graphically.
