Abstract
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.
