Qh. Qin et Sw. Yu, AN ARBITRARILY-ORIENTED PLANE CRACK TERMINATING AT THE INTERFACE BETWEEN DISSIMILAR PIEZOELECTRIC MATERIALS, International journal of solids and structures, 34(5), 1997, pp. 581-590
The plane problem of a crack terminating al the interface of a bimater
ial piezoelectric, and loaded on its faces, is treated. Emphasis is pl
aced on how tb transform this problem into a nonhomogeneous Hilbert pr
oblem. To make the derivation tractable, the concept of the axial conj
ugate is introduced and related to the complex conjugate. The angle be
tween the crack line and the interface may be arbitrary. Copyright (C)
