ANTIPLANE STRAIN PROBLEMS OF CIRCULAR ARC CRACKS BETWEEN BONDED DISSIMILAR PIEZOELECTRIC MATERIALS UNDER CONCENTRATED FORCES

A general solution of the antiplane strain problem of circular arc cracks between bonded dissimilar piezoelectric materials under concentrated forces is provided by using analytical continuation principle in the theory of functions of complex variable. Solutions in closed form of the complex potentials and the field intensity factors are given for a single circular-arc crack.
