Investigation of the stress singularity of a magnetoelectroelastic bonded antiplane wedge

The order of the stress singularity of a magnetoelectroelastic bonded antiplane wedge is analyzed by complex potential function and eigenfunction expansion method. Contrary to the familiar problem of elastic anisotropic bonded wedges which always produce real values for the order of singularity, the results of the magnetoelectroelastic bonded wedges may be real or complex. Numerical results are presented for problems with different boundary conditions. In particular, special behaviors of the order of the stress singularity for some degenerate composite materials and for some special wedge angles are noted.
