“…During design, the requirements of structural strength, reliability and lifetime of piezoelectric structures/components call for enhanced mechanical performance, including stress and deformation distribution under multifield loading. Ueda studied the fracture of an FGPM strip with a normal crack [3,4], of a symmetrical FGPM strip with a center crack [5] due to a thermal load, mixed-mode thermoelectromechanical fracture problems for an FGPM strip with a two-dimensional crack [6,7], and a penny-shaped crack [8,9]. Consequently, a new kind of material, FGPM, has been developed to improve the reliability of piezoelectric structures by extending the concept of the well-known FGM to piezoelectric materials [1].…”
