Abstract

Fracture analysis of a semi-permeable Yoffe-type interfacial crack propagating subsonically in magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) composites is presented based on the strip electromagnetic polarization saturation (SEMPS) model. The electro-magnetic fields inside the crack are considered under the semi-permeable boundary condition. Nonlinear effects near the interfacial crack tip are represented by different electro-magnetic saturation zones. Utilizing the extended Stroh’s method, we derive the moving dislocation densities as well as intensity factor and energy release rate for Yoffe-type MEE interfacial crack. Numerical results through an iterative approach are presented to show the characteristics of fracture-dominant parameters with respect to propagation velocity and boundary condition category. The fracture-dominant parameters under the semi-permeable boundary condition are lower than those under the impermeable one, which implies that the electro-magnetic fields in the crack gap can retard the propagation of MEE interfacial crack.
