Analysis of cracks in 3D piezoelectric media with various electrical boundary conditions

TL;DR: A weakly singular, symmetric Galerkin boundary element method capable of solving problems of isolated cracks in three-dimensional, linear anisotropic piezoelectric, infinite media with various types of crack-face boundary conditions including impermeable, permeable, semi-permeable and the energetically consistent boundary condition introduced by Landis (Int J Solids Struct 41:6291-6315, 2004) is established as mentioned in this paper.

On approach of crack tip energy release rate for a semi-permeable crack when electromechanical loads become very large

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the crack tip energy release rate (ERR) for a semi-permeable crack full with air/vacuum or Silicon oil when the electromechanical loads become very large.

Elliptical inclusion problem in antiplane piezoelectricity: Implications for fracture mechanics

TL;DR: In this paper, an elliptical piezoelectric inclusion embedded in an infinite lattice matrix is analyzed in the framework of linear PDE, and the energy release rate of a self-similarly expanding slender crack in the presence of electric fields is obtained by using the generalized M-integral.

Study on crack propagation in ferroelectric single crystal under electric loading

TL;DR: In this article, a fracture model based on energy analysis was developed which indicated that the energy variation due to the domain switching provided the thermodynamic driving force for the crack propagation under pure electric loading.

A cohesive zone model for the electromechanical damage of piezoelectric/ferroelectric materials

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical fracture analysis of piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials is conducted using an advanced exponential cyclic cohesive zone model, which allows for the damage accumulation during subcritical electromechanical loading.
