Abstract

A piezoelectric material layer bonded by two elastic layers under mechanical and electrical loads is studied. The piezoelectric material layer contains a central crack or two collinear cracks. Both mixed-mode crack and anti-plane crack are considered for the impermeable crack assumption and the permeable crack assumption. The effect of electric boundary conditions on electrical and mechanical field intensity factors are discussed. Some new observations are found.
