Abstract: | In this paper, the non-local theory of elasticity is applied to obtain the behavior of a Griffith crack in functionally graded piezoelectric materials under the anti-plane shear loading for the permeable electric boundary conditions. To make the analysis tractable, it is assumed that the material properties vary exponentially with coordinate vertical to the crack. By means of the Fourier transform, the problem can be solved with the help of a pair of dual-integral equations that the unknown variable is the jump of the displacement across the crack surfaces. These equations are solved by use of the Schmidt method. Numerical examples are provided. Unlike the classical elasticity solutions, it is found that no stress and electric displacement singularities are present near the crack tips. The non-local elastic solutions yield a finite hoop stress at the crack tips, thus allows us to using the maximum stress as a fracture criterion. The finite hoop stresses at the crack tips depend on the crack length, the functionally graded parameter and the lattice parameter of the materials, respectively. |
