Abstract
The electroelastic response of a penny-shaped crack in a piezoelectric cylindrical fiber embedded in an elastic matrix is investigated in this study. Fourier and Hankel transforms are used to reduce the problem to the solution of a pair of dual integral equations. They are then reduced to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. Numerical values on the stress intensity factor, energy release rate and energy density factor for piezoelectric composites are obtained to show the influence of applied electric fields.
