Piezoelectric material transducers can work as an actuator or sensor. Generally, the actuator
will be used to repair the structure, and the sensor will be used to find the health condition. In …

An adaptive phase-field model based on isogeometric analysis is presented to investigate
the fracture behaviors of transversely isotropic homogeneous piezoceramics under the …

One of the goals of fracture mechanics in the analysis of problems involving cracks is to
investigate crack growth and propagation. Each crack grows and propagates in the …

This paper studies the frequency response of edge-cracked magneto-electro elastic
functionally graded (ECMEE-FG) plates using the extended finite element method (XFEM) …

This paper presents three-dimensional planar crack and non-planar defects analysis of
piezoelectric materials by the finite element method (FEM). Based on practical engineering …

Abstract Dielectric Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) exhibit superior flexoelectric
properties. Gradual changes in material properties lead to large strain gradients and …

Multiple cracks/voids have been extensively seen in structural components. The stress field
gets affected due to the crack interaction, so the effect of multiple cracks should be …

In the oil and gas industry, hydraulic fracturing (HF) is a common application to create
additional permeability in unconventional reservoirs. Using proppant in HF requires …

To accurately analyze the fracture behavior of piezoceramics at small length scales,
flexoelectricity must be considered along with piezoelectricity. Due to its dependence on …

This work presents analyses of interfacial crack in piezoelectrics bimaterial plate under
electromechanical loading environment by extended isogeometric analysis (XIGA) approach …
