Dynamic fracture mechanics study of an electrically impermeable mode III crack in a transversely isotropic piezoelectric material under pure electric load
The issues of intersonic and supersonic fracture become the frontier of dynamic fracture mechanics. We describe in this paper the recent progresses in obtaining the analytical continuum solution for the initial-boundary valued problem of intersonic fracture under mode II loading, and construct an plausible analytical solution for mode III supersonic fracture.
