Purpose Based on the non-local piezoelectricity theory, this paper is concerned with two collinear permeable Mode-I cracks in piezoelectric materials subjected to the harmonic stress wave. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach According to the Fourier transformation, the problem is formulated into two pairs of dual integral equations, in which the unknown variables are the displacement jumps across the crack surfaces. Findings Finally, the dynamic non-local stress and the dynamic non-local electric displacement fields near the crack tips are obtained. Numerical results are provided to illustrate the effects of the distance between the two collinear cracks, the lattice parameter and the circular frequency of the incident waves on the entire dynamic fields near the crack tips, which play an important role in designing new structures in engineering. Originality/value Different from the classical solutions, the present solution exhibits no stress and electric displacement singularities at the crack tips in piezoelectric materials. It is found that the maximum stress and maximum electric displacement can be used as a fracture criterion.

A crack in an infinite plate of functionally graded materials (FGMs) under anti-plane shear impact loading is analyzed by making use of non-local theory. The shear modulus and mass density of FGMs are assumed to be of exponential form and the Poisson’s ratio is assumed to be constant. The mixed boundary value problem is reduced to a pair dual integral equations through the use of Laplace and Fourier integral transform method. In solving the dual integral equations, the crack surface displacement is expanded in a series using Jacobi’s polynomials and Schmidt’s method is used. The numerical results show that no stress singularity is present at the crack tip. The stress near the crack tip tends to increase with time at first and then decreases in amplitude and the peak values of stress decreases with increasing the graded parameters.

This article investigates the dynamic non-local stress analysis of two collinear semi-permeable mode-I cracks in a piezoelectric medium under the harmonic waves by using the generalized Almansi theorem and the Schmidt method. Based on the Fourier transform technique, this problem is formulated into coupled dual integral equations. The dynamic stress and the dynamic electric displacement fields at the crack tips are obtained by solving the derived dual integral equations. Numerical examples are provided to show the effects of the crack length, the distance between the two collinear cracks, the lattice parameter, the electric permittivity of the air inside the crack, and the characteristics of the harmonic wave on the dynamic stress field and the dynamic electric displacement field near the crack tips. The dynamic stress and electric displacement decrease with increasing the distance between two collinear cracks and lattice parameter in a piezoelectric medium. Meanwhile, the dynamic field will impede or enhance crack propagation in piezoelectric medium depending on the circular frequency of the incident wave. Different from the classical solutions, the present solutions exhibit no stress and electric displacement singularities at the crack tips. This work is expected to be helpful for theoretical modeling of piezoelectric medium at nanoscale.

An elasto-plastic analysis is conducted based upon a strip yield model for analyzing multiple cracks in a sheet reinforced with riveted stiffeners. Using the basic solution of a single crack and taking unknown fictitious surface tractions and fastener forces, Fredholm integral equations are formulated from the equilibrium condition along multiple cracks in the sheet. In addition compatibility equations of displacements are formulated among the sheet, fasteners and stiffeners. Based upon no stress singularity at the fictitious crack tips, these equations are iteratively solved as a single system of equations. Then the unknown fictitious surface tractions, fastener forces, and plastic zone sizes ahead of the crack tips are determined. The crack tip opening displacements for a multiple cracked sheet with riveted stiffeners are determined from the derived fictitious surface tractions and plastic zone sizes. Four example calculations and predictions are presented.
