Abstract

We formulate and solve the mathematical problem for antiplane cracks in a pre-stressed and pre-polarized piezoelectric material with static initial fields, assuming the initially deformed configuration of the body is locally stable. Using the boundary conditions of antiplane cracks, we get the Riemann-Hilbert problems. Nonhomogeneous linear complex differential equations having the unknown complex potential are obtained. For constant value of the applied incremental forces can be obtained the complex potentials, incremental displacement and stress fields corresponding to the third mode of the classical fracture. The problem of interaction of two collinear, unequal cracks in a pre-stressed and pre-polarized piezoelectric material, is also studied.
