Griffith crack moving along the interface of two dissimilar piezoelectric materials
by Chen, Zeng-Tao; Karihaloo, B.L.; Yu, Shou-Wen
The problem of an anti-plane Griffith crack moving along the interface of dissimilar piezoelectric materials is solved by using the integral transform technique. It is shown from the result that the intensity factors of anti-plane stress and electric displacement are dependent on the speed of the Griffith crack as well as the material coefficients. When the two piezoelectric materials are identical, the present result will reduce to the result for the problem of an anti-plane moving Griffith crack in homogeneous piezoelectric materials.
