Summary
The analysis of intensity factors for a penny-shaped crack under thermal, mechanical, electrical and magnetic boundary conditions becomes a very important topic in fracture mechanics. An exact solution is derived for the problem of a penny-shaped crack in a magneto-electro-thermo-elastic material in a temperature field. The problem is analyzed within the framework of the theory of linear magneto-electro-thermo-elasticity. The coupling features of transversely isotropic magneto-electro-thermo-elastic solids are governed by a system of partial differential equations with respect to the elastic displacements, the electric potential, the magnetic potential and the temperature field. The heat conduction equation and equilibrium equations for an infinite magneto-electro-thermo-elastic media are solved by means of the Hankel integral transform. The mathematical formulations for the crack conditions are derived as a set of dual integral equations, which, in turn, are reduced to Abel's integral equation. Solution of Abel's integral equation is applied to derive the elastic, electric and magnetic fields as well as field intensity factors. The intensity factors of thermal stress, electric displacement and magnetic induction are derived explicitly for approximate (impermeable or permeable) and exact (a notch of finite thickness crack) conditions. Due to its explicitness, the solution is remarkable and should be of great interest in the magneto-electro-thermo-elastic material analysis and design.
