The interface crack problems of a laminated piezoelectric plate under a sta
re of generalized plane deformation have been studied within the anisotropi
c theory. The method of Fourier transforms and the stiffness matrix formula
tion have been employed and the problem has been reduced to the solution of
a system of singular integral equations. The stress and induction intensit
y factors have been provided, and have been calculated numerically and disp
layed graphically. (C) Elsevier, Paris.
