Dynamic Anti-Plane Characteristic of Two Dissimilar Piezoelectric Media with an Interfacial Crack

Dynamic anti-plane characteristic is investigated theoretically on two dissimilar piezoelectric media with an interfacial crack subjected to time-harmonic incident anti-plane shearing in this paper. The formulations are based on the method of complex variable and Green’s function. Dynamic stress intensity factors at the crack’s tip are obtained by solving boundary value problems with the methods of conjunction and crack-division technique. The calculating results are plotted to show how the frequencies of incident wave, all kinds physical parameters of two dissimilar piezoelectric materials, applied electric loads and the dimension of the interfacial crack influence upon the dynamic stress intensity factor (DSIF). And some of the calculating results are compared with other published documents.
