D. Bardzokas et al., EXTENSION OF A PIEZOCERAMIC BIMORPH WITH A CRACK CROSSING THE INTERFACE, Mechanics of composite materials, 33(4), 1997, pp. 338-342
We consider the boundary-value problem of electroelasticity far a comp
osite plate weakened by a crack crossing the line joining the media, T
he initial boundary-value problem is reduced to a mired system of sing
ular integral and algebraic equations. We present the calculation resu
lts characterizing the variation in the stress intensity factors as a
function of the opening angle of a segmented crack for different types
of loading.
