Abstract: | 1-3 Piezocomposites are made by embedding piezoelectric fibers/rods in polymer matrix materials. Fiber–matrix interface fracture can affect the performance of piezocomposites. In this paper, axisymmetric interfacial cracks in piezocomposites are studied by considering an idealized model of a single piezoelectric fiber in a matrix material. The displacement discontinuity method is used to formulate the Mode I and II crack problems. The fundamental solutions required for DDM are derived explicitly by using the electroelastic field equations and Fourier integral transforms. The dependence of Mode I and II stress intensity factors of single and multiple interface cracks on fiber and matrix material properties, crack length and distance between cracks are investigated. |
