Abstract A meshless method based on the local Petrov-Galerkin approach is proposed to solve initial-boundary value crack problems of piezoelectric solids with nonlinear electrical boundary conditions on crack faces. Homogeneous and continuously varying material properties of the piezoelectric solid are considered. Stationary governing equations for electrical fields and the elastodynamic equations with an inertial term for mechanical 2-D fields are considered. Nodal points are spread on the analyzed domain, and each node is surrounded by a small circle for simplicity. The spatial variation of displacements and electric potential are approximated by the Moving Least-Squares (MLS) scheme. More >
