Abstract

Dynamic analysis of a crack embedded in a magnetoelectric material is made when subjected to in-plane mechanical, electric and magnetic impacts. The Laplace and Fourier transforms are applied to reduce the associated initial- and mixed-boundary value problem to dual integral equations, and then to singular integral equations with Cauchy kernel. By numerically solving the resulting equation, the dynamic field intensity factors as well as CODs, and energy release rates near the crack tip are evaluated and presented graphically. The effects of applied magnetic and electric impacts on crack growth are discussed. Obtained results show that, different from the static results, applied magnetic and electric impacts can strongly affect dynamic stress intensity factors.
