Abstract

Modern materials such as magneto-electro-elastic materials are used in the development of smart structures. The magneto-electro-elastic materials possess the dual features that the application of electric field induces magnetization and magnetic field induces electric polarization. The theory of linear magneto-electro-elasticity is applied to solve transient thermal fracture in magneto-electro-elastic cylinder under sudden heating on its outer surface. The equilibrium equations are obtained from the constitutive equations. The governing partial differential equations are deduced by using equilibrium equations of elastic, electric and magnetic fields. The heat conduction equation is solved by separation of variable technique. Hankel transform is applied to solve elastic displacements, electric potential and magnetic potential. The problem is reduced into integral equation involving Bessel functions which is treated exactly using Abel's integral equation. Transient distributions of temperature, stress, displacement and magnetic inductions are derived for magneto-electro-elastic cylinder. Thermal stress, electric displacement and magnetic induction-intensity factors are obtained. The solutions are valid for both impermeable and permeable crack models. The studies are valuable for such material analysis and design.
