Energy Analysis for Permeable and Impermeable Cracks in Piezoelectric Materials
Source abstract
Abstract
This letter deals with an energy analysis for both permeable and impermeable cracks in piezoelectric materials. Computed numerical results are plotted in figures, which support Park-Sun's conclusion (1995a,b) that the total energy release rate (TERR) involving both mechanical and electric parts is not suitable to describe piezoelectric fracture for a plane impermeable crack because the two parts have different signs: the former is positive and the latter is always negative under any kinds of combined mechanical-electric loading. This provides the major reason as why the mechanical part (the mechanical strain energy release rate, MSERR) must be used as a fracture criterion empirically. Whereas the electric part of the TERR for a permeable crack does always vanish whatever the poling direction is oriented with respect to the remote electric loading direction. This finding supports McMeeking's (1990, 1999) conclusion that the TERR could be used as a fracture criterion for permeable cracks.
