This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive study of cracks situated at the interface of two piezoelectric materials. It discusses different electric boundary conditions along the crack faces, in particular the cases of electrically permeable, impermeable, partially permeable, and conducting cracks. The book also elaborates on a new technique for the determination of electromechanical fields at the tips of interface cracks in finite sized piezoceramic bodies of arbitrary shape under different load types. It solves scientific problems of solid mechanics in connection with the investigation of electromechanical fields in piezoceramic bodies with interface cracks, and develops calculation models and solution methods for plane fracture mechanical problems for piecewise homogeneous piezoceramic bodies with cracks at the interfaces. It discusses the “open” crack model, which leads to a physically unrealistic oscillating singularity at the crack tips, and the contact zone model for in-plane straight interface cracks between two dissimilar piezoelectric materials. It also investigates the model of a crack with electro-mechanical pre-fracture zones. The formulated problems are reduced to problems of linear relationship, which correspond to different crack models, and their exact analytical solutions are found. The book presents in detail the expressions for stress and electric displacement intensity factors, as well as for the energy release rate. The influence of the electric permittivity of the crack, the mechanical load and the electric field upon the electro-elastic state, as well as the main fracture mechanical parameters, are analyzed and clearly illustrated. This book addresses postgraduate students, university teachers and researchers dealing with the problems of fracture mechanics of piezoelectric materials, as well as engineers who are active in the analysis of strength and durability of piezoelectric constructions.

Book excerpt: This thesis presents a theoretical study of fracture mechanics of piezoelectric materials. Based on the literature review, a selected set of basic problems related to linear fracture mechanics of plane piezoelectric media are examined. A comprehensive study of a plane piezoelectric medium with an arbitrarily oriented elliptical void and a straight crack is presented first. A set of complete analytical solutions for electroelastic fields around the void and at the crack tip are derived for different types of electric boundary conditions. It is found that solutions based on the special cases of defect orientation, i.e. defects parallel or perpendicular to the poling direction, cannot be always considered as the critical case. It is shown that the Hao and Shen type electric boundary conditions reduce to impermeable or permeable boundary conditions under practical situations. The branched cracks are then studied as the logical extension of straight cracks. It is found that branch closure happens for certain cases of branch length, branch angle and loading condition. It is shown that the asymptotic electroelastic fields at a branch tip have complex dependence on branch length, branch angle, crack orientation and the type of loading. The influence of applied electric loading is found to be more complicated and significant than mechanical loading. The issue of fracture criteria is examined next. A new stress-based criterion and two energy-based criteria are proposed to predict crack propagation in piezoelectrics. The criteria of modified hoop stress intensity factor and modified strain energy release rate suggest that, even in a symmetric case (loading and geometry), a crack may branch off from a straight path, which qualitatively agrees with available experimental findings. Finally, a general method of obtaining electroelastic singularities in piezoelectric wedges and composite piezoelectric wedges/junctions is successfully developed as a precursor to the study of fractur.

This book was released on 2013-07-24 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mechanics of Advanced Functional Materials emphasizes the coupling effect between the electric and mechanical field in the piezoelectric, ferroelectric and other functional materials. It also discusses the size effect on the ferroelectric domain instability and phase transition behaviors using the continuum micro-structural evolution models. Functional materials usually have a very wide application in engineering due to their unique thermal, electric, magnetic, optoelectronic, etc., functions. Almost all the applications demand that the material should have reasonable stiffness, strength, fracture toughness and the other mechanical properties. Furthermore, usually the stress and strain fields on the functional materials and devices have some important coupling effect on the functionality of the materials. Much progress has been made concerning the coupling electric and mechanical behaviors such as the coupled electric and stress field distribution in piezoelectric solids, ferroelectric domain patterns in ferroelectrics, fracture and failure properties under coupled electric and stress field, etc. The book is intended for researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of mechanics, materials sciences and applied physics who are interested to work on the interdisciplinary mathematical modeling of the functional materials. Prof. Biao Wang is the Dean of School of Physics and Engineering of the Sun Yat-sen University, China.
