Time-domain BEM for transient interfacial crack problems in anisotropic piezoelectric bi-materials

A time-domain boundary element method (BEM) together with the sub-domain technique is applied to study transient response of interfacial cracks in piecewise homogeneous, anisotropic and linear piezoelectric bi-materials under electrical and mechanical impacts. 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. Quadratic quarter-point elements are implemented at the tips of the interface cracks. To determine the real or complex dynamic stress intensity factors and the dynamic electrical displacement intensity factor of the interfacial cracks, an explicit extrapolating formula in a typical state of the crack plane perpendicular to the poling direction is presented in this paper. Numerical examples are presented; and the effects of the load combination and material combination on dynamic intensity factors and dynamic energy release rate are discussed.
