Thermoelectroelastic solution for elliptic inclusions and application to crack±inclusion problems
نویسنده
چکیده
The thermoelectroelastic solution for an elliptic piezoelectric inclusion embedded in an in®nite matrix and its application to crack±inclusion problems are investigated in this paper. By combining the method of Stroh's formalism, the technique of conformal mapping, the concept of perturbation and the method of analytical continuation, a general analytical thermoelectroelastic solution for an elliptic piezoelectric inclusion embedded in an in®nite piezoelectric matrix subjected to thermal loading is obtained. The loading may be point heat source, temperature discontinuity, or uniform remote heat ̄ow. Special cases when the inclusion becomes rigid or a hole are also investigated. As an application of the proposed solution, a system of singular integral equations is derived for analyzing crack±inclusion interactions. Numerical results for a piezoelectric plate with an elliptic inclusion and an inclined crack are given to illustrate the application of the proposed formulation. Ó 2000 Elsevier Science Inc.

متن کاملElliptic estimates in composite media with smooth inclusions: an integral equation approach
We consider a scalar elliptic equation for a composite medium consisting of homogeneous C1,α0 inclusions, 0 < α0 ≤ 1, embedded in a constant matrix phase. When the inclusions are separated and are separated from the boundary, the solution has an integral representation, in terms of potential functions defined on the boundary of each inclusion. We study the system of integral equations satisfied...
