Abstract
The present work is directed to the analysis of interface corner and crack configurations which occur in smart materials. It delivers a new technique for solving the corresponding piezoelectric boundary value problems by asymptotic eigenfunction expansions in connection with the conventional finite element method. This approach represents the extension to coupled electromechanical material behaviour of a method which was introduced in former times for geometrical and physical linear and non-linear solid mechanics [4,5].
