Two-dimensional problems of anisotropic piezoelectric composite wedges and spaces are studied. The Stroh formalism is employed to obtain the basic real-form solution in terms of two arbitrary constant vectors for a particular wedge. Explicit real-form solutions are then obtained for (i) a composite wedge subjected to a line force and a line charge at the apex of the wedge and (ii) a composite space subjected to a line force, line charge, line dislocation, and an electric dipole at the center of the composite space. For the composite wedge the surface traction on any radial plane θ = constant and the electric displacement Dθ normal to the radial plane θ = constant vanish everywhere. For the composite space these quantities may not vanish but they are invariant with the choice of the radial plane.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
