An approach for analysis of poled/depolarized piezoelectric materials with a crack
Source abstract
Abstract
In this paper, the influence of dielectric medium inside a crack on crack growth, in an infinite poled or depolarized ceramic, has been studied by employing an electric boundary condition derived from the exact boundary conditions proposed by Sosa (1996). The effect of remanent polarization has also been examined. The results obtained show that electric displacement on crack surfaces is not always zero. Hence, for studying fracture problems of piezoelectric ceramics with cracks accurately, the exact boundary conditions should be implemented. In addition, the results indicate that the effect of remanent polarization is equivalent to that of a positive electric field and it cannot be neglected. It is also found that a positive electric field always has a tendency to open a crack, and a negative electric field tends to close a crack.
