Abstract
This paper examined the dynamic electromechanical behavior of a crack in a functionally graded piezoelectric layer bonded between two elastic layers under the combined anti-plane mechanical shear and in-plane electric impacts. Fourier cosine transforms are used to reduce the problem to the solution of a set of singular integral equations. It is found that the impermeable crack condition is more reasonable than the permeable crack condition to analyze the influence of electric loading, and the energy density factor is more acceptable than the energy release rate to be used as the fracture criterion. In addition, numerical results are also presented to show the influences of the crack position, electromechanical combination factor and material gradient parameter on the fracture behavior.
