Abstract
The dynamic fracture problem for a functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) strip containing a penny-shaped crack parallel to the free boundaries is considered in this study. It is assumed that the electroelastic properties of the strip vary continuously along the thickness direction of the strip, and that the strip is under time-dependent electric load. Integral transform techniques and dislocation density functions are employed to reduce the problem to the solutions of a system of singular integral equations. The stress and electric displacement intensity factors versus time are presented for various values of dimensionless parameters representing the crack size, the crack location and the material nonhomogeneity.
