The dynamic anti-plane problem for a functionally graded piezoelectric strip containing a periodic array of parallel cracks, which are perpendicular to the boundary, is considered. Integral transforms techniques are employed to reduce the problem to the solution of singular integral equations. Numerical results are presented to show the influences of geometry, electromechanical combination factor and material gradient parameter on the fracture behavior.
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.
