Abstract

The dynamic solution of a multilayered spherically isotropic piezoelectric hollow sphere subjected to radial dynamic loads is obtained. By the method of superposition, the solution is divided into two parts: one is quasi-static and the other is dynamic. The quasi-static part is derived by the state-space method, and the dynamic part is obtained by the method of separation of variables coupled with the initial parameter method as well as the orthogonal expansion technique. By using the quasi-static and dynamic parts, the electric boundary conditions as well as the electric continuity conditions, a Volterra integral equation of the second kind with respect to a function of time is derived, which can be solved successfully by means of the interpolation method. The displacements, stresses and electric potentials are finally obtained. The present method is suitable for a multilayered spherically isotropic piezoelectric hollow sphere consisting of arbitrary layers and subjected to arbitrary spherically symmetric dynamic loads. Finally, numerical results are presented and discussed.
