The boundary element formulation for analysing cracked thermopiezoelectric materials due to thermal and electroelastic loads is reviewed in this paper. By way of Green's functions for piezoelectric solid with defects and variational principle, a boundary element model (BEM) for a 2-D thermopiezoelectric solid with various defects is discussed. The method is applicable to multiple crack problems in both finite and infinite solids. Finally a brief assessment of the boundary element formulation is made by considering some numerical examples for stress and electric displacement (SED) intensity factors at a particular crack-tip in a crack system of piezoelectric materials.

Mechanical and electric loads are considered for 2-d crack problems in conducting piezoelectric materials. The electric displacement in conducting piezoelectric materials is influenced by the electron density and it is coupled with the electric current. The coupled governing partial differential equations (PDE) for stresses, electric displacement field and current are satisfied in a local weak-form on small fictitious subdomains. Nodal points are spread on the analyzed domain and each node is surrounded by a small circle for simplicity. Local integral equations are derived for a unit function as the test function on circular subdomains. All field quantities are approximated by the moving least-squares (MLS) scheme.

The aim of the present paper is to investigate the two-dimensional moving contact behavior of piezomagnetic materials under the action of a sliding rigid punch. Introduction of the Galilean transformation makes the constitutive equations containing the inertial terms tractable. Eigenvalues analyses of the piezomagnetic governing equations are detailed, which are more complex than those of the commercially available piezoelectric materials. Four eigenvalue distribution cases occur in the practical computation. For each case, real fundamental solutions are derived. The original mixed boundary value problem with either a flat or a cylindrical punch foundation is reduced to a singular integral equation. Exact solution to the singular integral equation is obtained. Especially, explicit form of the stresses and magnetic inductions are given. Figures are plotted both to show the correctness of the derivation of the exact solution and to reveal the effects of various parameters on the stress and magnetic induction.
