Abstract

A conjugate electroelastic field in a piezoceramic cylinder with a parabolic crack under static loading is investigated. Uniformly tensile stresses and an electric potential are applied to the end faces of the cylinder. The following two types of electric conditions are considered at the crack boundary: the electric potential is continuous across the crack and the normal component of the electric-displacement vector on the crack surface is equal to zero. For each of these cases, expressions for some quantities characterizing the disturbed field in the crack plane and formulas to calculate the stress intensity factors are presented.
