چکیده

The boundary element formulation for analysing interaction between a hole and multiple cracks in piezoelectric materials is presented. Using Green’s function for hole problems and variational principle, a boundary element model (BEM) for a 2-D thermopiezoelectric solid with cracks and holes has been developed and used to calculate stress intensity factors of the crack-hole problem. In BEM, the boundary condition on the hole circumference is satisfied a priori by Green’s function, and is not involved in the boundary element equations. The method is applicable to multiple-crack problems in both finite and infinite solids. Numerical results for stress and electric displacement intensity factors at a particular crack tip in a crack-hole system of piezoelectric materials are presented to illustrate the application of the proposed formulation. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
