Abstract

This paper considers the electromagnetic elastic problem of a crack in a medium possessing coupled piezoelectric, piezomagnetic and magnetoelectric effects. Based on the extended Stroh formalism, the general two-dimensional solutions to the magnetoelectroelastic problem are obtained, involving five analytic functions of different variables. The magnetoelectroelastic field around the crack tip is given. It contains five modes of square root singularities. Expressions of the stresses, electric displacements and magnetic inductions in the vicinity of the crack tip are derived and the field intensity factors are provided. The electrical boundary conditions on the crack surfaces are also discussed.
