    J.A. Sanz, M. Solis, J. Dominguez1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.17, No.3, pp. 215-230, 2007, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2007.017.215

    Abstract A general mixed boundary element formulation for three-dimensional piezoelectric fracture mechanics problems is presented in this paper. The numerical procedure is based on the extended displacement and traction integral equations for external and crack boundaries, respectively. Integrals with strongly singular and hypersingular kernels appearing in the formulation are analytically transformed into weakly singular and regular integrals. Quadratic boundary elements and quarter-point boundary elements are implemented in a direct way in a computer code. Electric and stress intensity factors are directly computed from nodal values at quarter-point elements. Crack problems in 3D piezoelectric bounded and unbounded More >
