Anti-plane problem of nano-sharp crack in one-dimensional hexagonal
piezoelectric quasicrystals with the electrically semi-permeable
condition
Abstract
Based on the Gurtin-Murdoch surface / interface theory and the complex
potential theory, the problem of an electrically semi-permeable
nano-sharp crack in one-dimensional (1D) hexagonal piezoelectric
quasicrystals (PEQCs) is analyzed. By constructing conformal mapping of
sharp crack, the analytic solutions of the electroelastic field are
determined. Meanwhile, the field intensity factors and the energy
release rate (ERR) under the electric boundary conditions of
semi-permeable are obtained. The effects of length of nano-sharp crack,
dielectric constant, the electric loading, the mechanic loadings on the
dimensionless stress intensity factors (SIFs), dimensionless electric
displacement intensity factor (EDIF) and the dimensionless ERR are
considered. The results show that the dimensionless SIFs, EDIF and the
ERR have an obvious size dependent effect. The impact of surface effect
becomes weaker along with the growth of crack size. The change of the
dielectric coefficient has little influence on the dimensionless SIFs,
but has a strong influence on the dimensionless EDIF. The obtained
analytical solutions are helpful to promote the development of nano
quasicrystal (QC) composite mechanics, and provide an important
theoretical support for the design and preparation of nano QC materials.
