Transient response of a semi-permeable crack between dissimilar anisotropic piezoelectric layers by time-domain BEM
This paper studied the transient response of a semi-permeable crack between two dissimilar anisotropic piezoelectric layers by a time-domain BEM with a sub-domain technique and an iterative process for the non-linear crack-face boundary conditions. The present time-domain BEM uses a quadrature formula for the temporal discretization to approximate the convolution integrals and a collocation method for the spatial discretization. A universal matrix-form displacement extrapolation formula and its explicit formula are used to determine the dynamic intensity factors. Several examples are presented and discussed to show the effects of the electrical crack-face boundary condition on dynamic intensity factors.
