Fracture Mechanics of Piezoelectric Solids with Interface Cracks
Fracture Mechanics of Piezoelectric Solids with Interface Cracks
- Fracture Mechanics of Piezoelectric Solids with Interface Cracks, 1-235, 2017 .
Piezoelectric materials are widely used in sensors, actuators and other modern technologies. However, they are very brittle and predisposed to fracture. Appearance of cracks and interfacial failure leads to an undesired degradation of electrical and mechanical performance. This monograph is devoted to a comprehensive study of cracks situated at the interface of two piezoelectric materials. Plane electromechanical problems for piezoceramic bodies with interface cracks are analyzed.
