Control of thermal stress intensity factor in a piezothermoelastic semi-infinite body with an edge crack. (English) Zbl 1069.74039

Summary: We study a surface-breaking crack in a piezothermoelastic body due to a sudden thermal load. An analytical model is a two-dimensional piezothermoelastic semi-infinite body with an edge crack subjected to a sudden temperature change and to an electric displacement to compensate its effect. The transient field is obtained by a potential method and Laplace transform. The problem is reduced to a singular integral equation, from which the stress intensity factor of the crack is obtained. Using numerical examples, the control of the stress intensity factor by applying electric displacement is suggested.
