The optimal control of fracture and stress parameters in a piezoceramic halfspace with cracks

An approach to the determination of the optimal control of fracture and strength parameters in a piezoceramic halfspace with cracks under antiplane deformation conditions is proposed. The distribution over certain part of the halfspace boundary, harmonically changing with time under the influence of axial forces or electric charges is analyzed as a control interaction. The solution of the inverse problem in fracture mechanics is obtained from the solution of the corresponding direct boundary value problem; in this case, the optimization problem is reduced to the momentum problem. The solution of the direct electroelastic problem using the method of the boundary integral equations is obtained. Various control functions permitting to realize the optimal process of control, i.e. the minimal energetic expenses, are given.
