An antiplane mixed boundary electroelasticity of a stationary wave process in an unbounded piezoceramic medium containing tunnel heterogeneities of opening or thin rigid inclusion (stringer) type is considered. The excitation of an electric field occurs at the expense of differences of electric potentials applied to the system of electrodes located on a free from stresses opening surface. Using the correct integral representations of the solutions, the boundary problem is reduced to the system of singular integrodifferential equations of the second type with resolvent kernels. The results of the parametric investigations characterizing the behavior of the components of an electroelastic field in the medium area and on the opening surface are given. A system of singular integrodifferential equations is obtained for investigation of a conjugated electroelastic field in a piezomedium with a tunnel along the material axis opening a rigid curvilinear inclusion, excited by a system of active electrodes, located on the opening surface. The solvable system of equations of the boundary problem is reduced to two differential equations of Helmhöltz and Laplace with respect to the amplitude of shear displacement and some auxiliary functions. The obtained system is solved numerically by a special scheme of the method of quadrature.

Abstract The existence of distributional solutions is investigated for the time-dependent bending of a plate with transverse shear deformation under mixed boundary conditions. The problem is then reduced to nonstationary boundary integral equations and the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the latter are studied in appropriate Sobolev spaces.


The proof of uniform convergence of a family of finite-difference solutions to the exact solution is outlined for a harmonic mixed boundary-value problem in a rectangle containing a slit. Finite-difference results in the neighbourhood of the tip of the slit are given for reference.
