Abstract

Based on Stroh's formalism, analytic solutions are derived for a half-infinite coupled crack in piezoelectric bimaterials without oscillation by using analytical function technique. Four intensity factors related to the crack tip fields are obtained. It is found that these intensity factors are independent of the bimaterials constants when no oscillation occurs. Some numerical calculations about the stress tensor and the electric field ahead of the crack tip are conducted finally.
